Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff is accusing conservative rivals of trying to conceal a $11 - FTAA "hole" in their campaign platform.
Ignatieff said Saturday that pledge from the conservatives to find the $ 11 billion in spending of savings over the next three years of the Government would have a "devastating impact" on the ability of the Government to serve Canadians.
The Federal deficit was projected by the Conservatives only two weeks ago to continue to refuse $0.3 billion in 2014-2015, and the Party expected that there would be a surplus of 4.2 billion in 2015 - 2016.
Platform of Conservative leader Stephen Harper, published Friday in Mississauga, Ontario, promises included to eliminate the Federal deficit a year earlier than planned in the budget to control spending and cut, as well as waste through the retirement of the federal public service.
The leader of the Liberal Party, said that the Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty gave no explanation as to exactly how the Tories would savings, adding that the plan also undermines the credibility of the conservative party as tax managers.
Ignatieff has also suggested that the Tories would eventually cutting health transfers to the provinces and territories, despite the insistence of Flaherty, that transfers would remain intact even after the current federal-provincial agreement expires in 2014.
"How are you supposed to enter health agreements 2014 with budget numbers that add up to?". Ignatieff said.
In an interview aired Saturday mornings on the CBC Radio House, Flaherty has said that he did not build the economies of the strategic review budgetary track "because we have not yet economies."
"The strategic review we watched is something that that we were told in the four months we have worked on the budget," Flaherty said host Kathleen Petty.
"We will booking nothing for 2011 - 2012." After that we can make some allowances. ?
Flaherty, stated that "aggressive" review is long as Canadians see the size of the Government continues to grow "topsy" year after year.
"It of just more officials, more and more programs and initiatives." We did not watched [spending] in 15 years the largest organization in the country, which is the Federal Government. ?
Hours before the inauguration of the platform Tory Friday, Ignatieff has published an open letter on health care financing, promising to maintain the annual increase of six per cent after the expiry of the agreement of current provincial health care funding by 2014.

Ignatieff will swing the vote-rich Saturday Toronto region, begin the day by organizing a meeting with the media in the morning. He will attend a barbecue of campaign Woodbridge in the afternoon, followed by a rally in the cafeteria of a secondary school in Toronto.
Ignatieff said he believes that Canadians want to hear a message of "practical hope" set focus on what Government can do for them.
