His own department states that, from April to October, the federal government posted a surplus of $600 million. It is in black and white, posted publicly on its website and available for all to see. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4182590\" data-originallang=\"en\">We Conservatives left a surplus. Did the parliamentary secretary, in answering my question, wilfully mislead the House? If so, will he stand in his place, correct the record, and apologize?</p>",

Son propre minist\u00e8re affirme que, d'avril \u00e0 octobre, le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral a affich\u00e9 un exc\u00e9dent de 600 millions de dollars.
