96 words · 6 sentences · 6 clauses

Replying to Pierre Poilievre (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, once again, the Prime Minister was asked a direct question. He refuses to stand up, and he cannot even condemn forced labour and slavery, because it runs counter to his corporate interests. This is the old story with him. A small group of Liberal insiders, members of the club, multinational corporations, get fabulously rich, making everyone else terribly poor. While his corporate profits have gone up, and he is dodging his taxes on those profits, the Canadian people are suffering even more with the only recession in the G20. Will he stand up today and reverse those policies?”
