House of Commons: Stephen Harper

Stephen Harper: The only finance minister Stephen Harper has ever employed delivered a federal spending blueprint Tuesday that forecast a hefty surplus next year, in 2015, while leaving the current years budget balanced in all but name, according to 660 News. I prefer to have a nice, clean surplus next year, Flaherty explained in a news conference Tuesday before the budget was introduced in the House of Commons and Jim Flaherty has been signalling for months that fiscal Valhalla is just over the horizon. The $2.9 billion deficit in 2014-15 may well prove to be less than a built-in $3 billion contingency reserve. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
