Le gouvernement, qui s'efforçait auparavant d'établir la balance des comptes nationaux, afin d'éviter la crise, se trouve maintenant à dépenser 35 milliards de dollars de plus qu'il y a deux ans.
The government has now gone from the days when it was trying very hard to balance the national books, because we had a crisis in the making if we did not, to a position where we are spending $35 billion more than we did the year before last. Thirty-five billion dollars out of Canada's budget is a very steep increase.
