Tom Lukiwski isn't impressed by the Liberal government's 2016 budget that was tabled Tuesday.

"It's not a good news budget if you're a taxpayer. It's just a litany of broken promises," said the Conservative MP for Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan. "During the election campaign of course the Liberals said that they would run modest deficits of $10 billion a year for the first three years and then balance the budget by the end of the first term. That's been blown out of the water completely."

The Liberals presented their 2016 budget on Tuesday at the House of Commons. The budget projected a $29.4-billion deficit in 2016-17, a $29 billion shortfall in 2017-18 and a $23-billion shortfall in 2018-19.
