Liberal on Spring Economic Update 2026 Implementation Act 2026-05-01

46 words · 2 sentences · 2 clauses

Replying to Dane Lloyd (Conservative). The question was off topic, so this reply is judged against the bill.

“Madam Speaker, Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman said there are four ways to spend money, and the worst way is spending somebody else’s money on others because it is the least efficient and one is least careful with it. We have seen the Liberal government put $200 million into a concrete slab spaceport in Nova Scotia. When we are talking about a sovereign debt fund of $25 billion, that is the government spending taxpayers’ money. I want to ask the parliamentary secretary if he is borrowing money right now to invest in things like spaceports.”
