He has doubled Justin Trudeau's deficit, the biggest deficit in Canadian history outside of the pandemic years. It is $16 billion bigger than he promised during the election campaign.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8998816\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Why? It is to fund a bureaucracy that has grown by 80% since the Liberals took office. Now, the government House leader is saying that there will be only minimal reductions in the bureaucracy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8998817\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Why must Canadians pay to feed the bureaucracy, rather than feeding their families?</p>",
