Cependant, honorables sénateurs, il est clair que la plupart des économistes et des experts en la matière qui disposaient certainement de plus de renseignements que moi ou, peut-être, que le sénateur Segal, prédisaient cette situation et affirmaient que nous avions un déficit alors qu'au même moment, le premier ministre et le ministre des Finances disaient que ce n'était pas le cas.
However, honourable senators, it was clear that most economists, most experts in the field who had more information than certainly I or perhaps Senator Segal had, were predicting this and were saying that we were in a deficit at the time that the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance were denying that that was in fact the case.
