Liberal on Spring Economic Update 2026 Implementation Act 2026-05-06

62 words · 3 sentences · 3 clauses

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

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberal member has a lengthy history of supporting Bernie Sanders. A quick Google search revealed that he has many photos of press releases from events where she is seen sitting next to Bernie Sanders or supporting and applauding him down in the United States. What U.S.-style politics and policy from Bernie Sanders is she going to import into Canada?”
