Replying to Dane Lloyd (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, I thought that this Liberal Prime Minister was supposed to be good with money, but they just lost $175 million in less than six months on a failing diamond mine that just sought creditor protection. Young Canadians were promised opportunity, but after a decade of Liberal reckless spending, they are getting fewer jobs and less opportunity. This year, Canada has lost 111,000 full-time jobs. We have thousands of skilled workers just waiting for this Liberal government to get out of the way. Unfortunately, it is just more taxes, more job losses and more of the same. Why is this Liberal Prime Minister making young Canadians pay for his economic recklessness?”
