Madam Chair, Claims · 83 wordsit took the Liberal government’s CRA a decade to do the right thing, which was a decade longer than it took Revenu Québec. The minister was elected at the same time as me, in 2015.¹ The Prime Minister put him in cabinet almost immediately, which means that he has been one of the senior ministers in the Liberal administration for the past decade. That makes him one of the top architects of the debt that grew to over $1 trillion over that decade.² The question · 15 wordsCan the minister tell us what the interest on the debt costs Canada every year?
