It sounds like you agree, that tightening up the criteria is a good idea, but you don't think the Conservative Government has the required characteristics to do the job. Let me guess, the Liberals who continued to fund it without changes for eleven long years has all the required qualities to fix their mistake now. Allowing Canadians to keep their own money through tax cuts could only be described as "squandering" by a Liberal, ( including NDP as Liberals ). That surplus was created by over taxing hard working Canadian citzens, it was used as a winfall by the previous Liberal government, but it was never theirs to "squander" although they did.
