Reader: MP's e-mail letter misleading

Conservatives had deficit budget since 2008, added $157 billion debt

To the editor:

In her recent e-mail newsletter, Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod claims the federal government deficit has been reduced by $55.6 billion, to a projected surplus of $1.4 billion for 2015/16.

She neglects to mention how her Conservative government has had massive federal budget deficits every year since 2008.

She also neglects to mention how the Conservatives have added $157 billion to the federal debt since 2008.

Her claims of responsible fiscal management are misleading.
