Mr. Speaker, Claims · 78 wordsthe Prime Minister unveiled another Liberal credit card budget, the 11th in a row, ¹and doubled the last Trudeau deficit.² This year, Canadians will spend $60 billion just to pay the interest on the debt that Canada already owes, ³and that number is only going up. That is $60 billion that is not going into health care, critical infrastructure, national defence or affordability measures to help Canadians put food on the table or a roof over their head. The question · 35 wordsI have a simple question. What happened to last year’s Liberal slogan to spend less, invest more?⁴ Was that just a tagline to win an election? Are these guys actually incapable of reducing government spending?
