Replying to Rachael Thomas (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, those same global problems are being experienced by all countries within the G7, but only Canada’s leader, only Canada’s Prime Minister, has led this country into a recession. It is only Canada. He is not worried, but why would he be? He is fine. He is fine because, again, he is enjoying fine wine, he is enjoying braised beef and he is enjoying luxury Normandy butter cups, whatever the heck that is. That is his reality, but that is not the reality of Canadians. Canadians are lining up at food banks like never before. Canadians are defaulting on their mortgages, and Canadians are declaring bankruptcy. When will the government wake up to reality, the reality that is faced by everyday Canadians, and do something about it?”
