Yes they have... it took them a bit of time to get rid of the surplus that the Liberals left them. Not sure if a Harper
majority government has ever had one though.
I think it's crazy that they're pushing the GST cut as an accomplishment though, since Stephen Harper was about the only economist in the country who thought that was a good idea.
