Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his excellent questions. Let me point out that we are not talking about a mistake in one year. I can understand that budgetary forecasting is not an exact science and that, in a given year, there be a discrepancy of so much. That is perfectly understandable and, unfortunately, it is almost a given.
In this case, however, we are talking of systematic errors, year after year. Indeed, for seven years in a row, there have been unexpected surpluses much higher that the budgetary forecasts made by various finance ministers.
