“Mr. Speaker, let us remember that a year ago, the Liberals were forecasting a $31‑billion deficit. One year later, it is twice that—$65 billion. That is the reality after one year of Liberal governance. Worse still, the outlook from now to 2031, according to the economic statement, is another trillion dollars added to the debt. More and more spending is an indication that the deficits will increase. Do the Liberals realize that spending money we do not have leaves our children and our great-grandchildren holding the bag and that future generations will have to pay for the Liberals’ irresponsible management?”

Mr. Speaker, Reasoning · 111 wordswhat would be irresponsible would be to do as my colleague suggests and deprive 27,000 people in his riding of the Canadian dental care plan, 1as well as 12,000 families of the approximately $80 million that flows into Louis-Saint-Laurent—Akiawenhrahk.2That is what would be irresponsible.What would be irresponsible, given the global and economic turmoil we are facing, would be to fail to build and invest in infrastructure to boost Canada’s competitiveness—as we are doing at the Port of Québec, 3as we are doing in Contrecoeur, 4and as we are doing with Nouveau Monde Graphite—in order to create a strong, resilient economy that offers opportunities to our youth and future generations.5
