Replying to Bernard Généreux (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, he is talking about fiscal restraint when the Liberals just doubled Canada’s deficit. The current Prime Minister is an illusion. Contrary to what my colleague is saying, Canada is currently shedding jobs by the tens of thousands every month. Quebec alone lost 43,000 jobs in April, bringing the total job losses in 2026 in Quebec to 91,000. That is the fault of Liberal management. How can the Liberals then turn around and say that everything is fine? It is unbelievable. It is impossible.”
