Lest there be any doubt...

...the federal budget deal will be entirely affordable given the government's current finances:

The federal government recorded a surplus of $3.1 billion in the first two months of the fiscal year.

In April, Ottawa took in $2.2 billion more than it spent and added another $900 million to the coffers in May, the Finance Department reported Friday.

The April-May figure was well up from the same period last year when the surplus was $1.8 billion.

And thankfully, as a result of the NDP's deal some of that added money will be put to much better use than it would have been otherwise.
