Replying to Gérard Deltell (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, it has been a year since the Prime Minister took office. Over that year, the situation in Canada has deteriorated. Just imagine: Under his leadership as a well-known international banker, the result is that Canada, under this Prime Minister, is the only G20 country in recession. Inflationary spending, red tape and anti-development policies have created this recession and, above all, have led to a cost-of-living crisis. When will we see concrete results for Canadians?”
