Liberal on The Economy 2026-06-12

93 words · 7 sentences · 8 clauses

Replying to William Stevenson (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, Canada is the only G20 country with a prime minister to take the nation into recession. Full-time workers are living in RVs and trailers because they cannot afford homes. Families are spending more on food and rent than they are earning. People are making impossible choices just to survive. At the same time, every single day we learn about another instance of wasteful spending by the Prime Minister that exceeds even Justin Trudeau’s record. Will the Prime Minister finally reverse the costly Liberal policies that caused the recession?”
