Replying to Tamara Kronis (Conservative)
“Mr. Speaker, I was in the House for the first part of my hon. colleague’s excellent speech and was delighted to be here today for the rest of it. Our ridings have a lot in common, even though they are on opposite sides of the country. They are resource-based. They are filled with families, and they are struggling right now, yet the members across the way continue to stand up and tell us that Canadians have never had it so good and that the economy is all sunshine and rainbows. I am wondering if the member can talk a bit about what it feels like on the ground under current circumstances in her communities.”

Mr. Speaker, Thanks · 25 wordsI appreciate my colleague and friend’s excellent explanation of exactly the same thing that I hear time and again whenever I am in my riding.Thanks Claims · 79 wordsI go to the grocery store and I see how people are struggling. I have constituents consistently reaching out and talking to me about impossible decisions that they have to make between eating and heating their homes, and seniors who cannot afford their medication. In light of the fact that we hear, day in and day out, this constant “good news” and “great announcements”, at the end of the day, on the ground in the communities, people are struggling. Positioning · 25 wordsThis is what we are trying to address, as responsible members of Parliament, especially as it relates to rural and coastal communities across this country.Positioning
