Mr. Speaker, Claims · 135 wordsfor whatever reason, the Prime Minister has told us affordability is the best it has been in decades.¹ Perhaps if he spent less time in Europe, he might be aware that we now have full-time workers living in RVs and trailers. Families who do not have the benefit of luxury, million-dollar inflight catering are spending over 120% of their income on food and rent alone. Some Canadians, who are not Liberal friends or insiders and do not receive luxury Liberal appointments, have even turned to crowdfunding to make ends meet. In my riding, the Central Okanagan Food Bank is now serving 12,000 people.² That is a 20% increase.³ Despite record deficit spending after he promised Canadians he would spend less, the Prime Minister is the only G7 leader to take his country into a recession.⁴ Procedure · 3 wordsMake no mistake.Procedure Claims · 15 wordsThe Liberals’ inflationary spending and antidevelopment policies created this recession and cost of living crisis. Positioning · 4 wordsThese are Liberal choices.Positioning Promise · 17 wordsOnly the Conservatives will end wasteful spending, cut bureaucracy, restore accountability and replace Liberal excess with results.Vague promise
