Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 9 words I know my colleague knows the answer to this, Procedure Positioning · 126 words but here is how the Liberals do it. They take whatever the global agenda happens to be. Financial markets and central bankers, like the current Prime Minister, create global scarcity for a certain product, drive up the demand for it by creating that scarcity and then come up with socialist-type deficit spending to solve the problem, which all of the insiders, their friends and their big corporate interests, then grift on. That is why we are in this mess. They can apply this to housing or any of the other aspect of our economy. Have members ever noticed that nothing ever gets done in this country unless the government spends a bunch of taxpayers’ dollars along with it? It does not seem to work, does it? Positioning Claims · 12 words All that happens is our deficit goes up and things get worse. Partly on point
