128 words · 9 sentences · 11 clauses

Replying to Tamara Jansen (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, families across Canada know that, when their interest payments start eating up their household budget, something is seriously wrong. That is exactly what is happening with the Liberal government. Debt interest costs have now exploded to $59 billion a year, up 10% in just one year alone. Canadians are now paying more in interest than the federal government sends to provinces for health care. In fact, debt interest now costs more than the GST brings in. Members can think about it. Canadians pay taxes and struggle to afford groceries and rent. More and more of that money is simply going toward interest payments instead of the services people need. Is it fair that the Liberals are forcing Canadians to pay thousands of dollars per family just to keep up with the interest on their own reckless spending?”
