The Canadian economy is now forecast to produce $32 billion less income next year than had been anticipated in the last forecast, published in April. National income for 2017 will be $43 billion less than expected.
Surplus a mirage
All of that suggests that the Conservatives' heralded return to a budgetary surplus was in fact a mirage that could not have been achieved without the one-time sale of government-held shares in General Motors early in the first quarter.

.... I can assure you that the Harper government, had they been re-elected, would have lied about the budget then made more severe cuts to essential services such as Medicare further damaging the hourly and middle class workers ability to make ends meet.
They are NOT masters of economic prudence but rather incompetent fools who should never, ever be permitted to become the ruling party.
I warned day after day that should the hapless Harper government be defeated that the new government would find the economy to be on the verge of collapse due to Stephen Harpers unfounded economic policies and his belief in trickle down economics.
