Replying to Ryan Turnbull (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the member opposite’s speech, but obviously I do not share his pessimism about the sovereign wealth fund. Generations ago we had examples with victory bonds, with war bonds. We have had examples of Canadians stepping up, especially at times when Canada’s sovereignty has been tested, throughout our history, when Canadians want to participate in investing in the future that they want to build for this country. Would the member not say that this is a welcome opportunity for Canadians to be able to participate in the prosperity and growth that the government is moving forward on?”

Mr. Speaker, Claims · 78 wordsthere is no prosperity and growth to participate in. This economy has not grown in a decade. In fact, Canada has had the worst economic performance of all G7 countries.¹ Since the Liberal Prime Minister took office, nothing has changed. There has been no regulatory reform and no tax reform, and not a single antidevelopment law has been eliminated. Other than to rename the carbon tax as the clean fuel standard, there has been no serious tax reform.² Procedure · 1 wordsFinally, ProcedureClaims · 22 wordsand I guess it is the only difference, the deficit is twice the size now of what it was under Justin Trudeau.³ Procedure · 1 wordsNow, ProcedureClaims · 27 wordsas for participating in growing the Canadian economy, people have the freedom right now to buy into a Canadian stock index if they want to do that. Reasoning · 39 wordsI do not understand why they need the government to force them to take on a $25-billion liability on the credit card for the Liberal government to dole out, in a political slush fund, to those politically powerful corporations.⁴
