Trudeau Liberals’ unchecked spending criticized by Liberal-appointed senator
Both Liberal and Conservative-appointed Senators have expressed concern over the Trudeau government’s opacity in federal spending and budgets. Spending disclosures were ended after the government suspended Parliament on August 18, according to Blacklock’s Reporter. “It’s not being transparent,” Senator Elizabeth Marshall said. “We cannot get current, up to date financial information. Why is the government refusing to provide current financial information?” The Department of Finance has not issued a report on borrowing and spending since August 6, as was ordered of the Department of Finance by MPs. “It was the one piece of current financial information that was available… The government is providing very little.”
