Mr. Speaker, Positioning · 31 wordshard-working Canadian families are being financially crushed by the government, and it is no accident. A mountain of reckless inflationary spending and wasteful Liberal policies are what is weighing them down.Positioning Claims · 101 wordsThe government blew $300 million on the failed PrescribeIT app that never worked and $200 million on a Nova Scotia spaceport that is no more than a concrete pad.¹² It spent over $1 billion a year propping up the CBC productions that, quite frankly, nobody watches or wants to watch.³ Billions get wasted on foreign aid that promotes ideological agendas, props up corrupt foreign officials or gets diverted to terrorist groups like Hamas. It spent $19 billion on insider consultants and nearly $1 billion on deluxe health benefits for fake refugees.⁴⁵ This reckless spending is driving up grocery bills and mortgages. The ask · 27 wordsConservatives demand an end to this behaviour. Let us cut the waste, balance the budget, keep our tax dollars in Canada and deliver real results for Canadians.
