The Conservatives and Harper formed the government in 2006 (and the Liberals ruled from 1993 to 2006):
Not that a government's fiscal policy should be judged solely on deficit spending. There were points during the recession that deficit spending made sense, but they certainly didn't decrease the deficit.
