Liberal on The Economy 2026-06-10

128 words · 8 sentences · 9 clauses

Replying to Rhonda Kirkland (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, after 11 years of Liberal inflation, a new United Way survey confirms what Canadians have been saying for years. They are struggling to afford life. One in five Canadians has experienced poverty, 38% struggle with food insecurity and 60% have real anxiety about their finances. While Canadians are stretching every dollar, the Prime Minister has stretched Canada’s economy into the only recession in the G20. Will he finally abandon the costly Liberal policies that caused this crisis, or is making life unaffordable part of the plan?”

Mr. Speaker, Claims · 128 wordswe recognize that there are challenges across the country. That is exactly why we cut taxes for 22 million Canadians.¹ It is why we have put in the groceries and essentials rebate.² It is why we have doubled down on social programs that matter for everyday Canadians. However, we reject the premise of the Conservatives’ question, that the government’s policies have resulted in the challenges that Canadians are facing. We are facing a trade war from our largest trading partner: 75% of our goods and services go to the United States.³ There is a war in the Middle East and a war in eastern Europe.⁴ We are dealing with the circumstances and putting forward an economic plan to build this country and support Canadians at the same time.Vague promise
