Replying to Helena Konanz (Conservative)
“Mr. Speaker, I always learn so much whenever my colleague stands in the House. I am hearing constantly from the people in my riding that they are struggling with basic needs, like putting food on the table. I know I am not the only one. I am sure every MP in this room right now, every MP who was elected in the last year, feels the same thing. We know from the data that there is a recession. We know there are issues in Canada, but the Liberals keep denying that anything is wrong. What does my colleague think is the danger of denying issues like this when they are so blatant? I know the Liberals are hearing the same things we are hearing. What is the danger of denial?”
