73 words · 5 sentences · 5 clauses

Replying to Joël Godin (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government has been in power for 11 years and it is still coming up with plans and conducting analyses. Meanwhile, Canadians are desperate. While 2.2 million Canadians are being forced to turn to food banks, 38% are experiencing food insecurity and families are spending more than 120% of their income on housing and groceries, the Liberals are continuing with their inflationary spending. Why is the Prime Minister refusing to admit that his policies created this cost of living crisis?”
