Replying to Guillaume Deschênes-Thériault (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, in her response to my question, my colleague talked about the need for more doing and less talking. However, over the past year and a half, we have implemented meaningful measures. We have made Canada’s national school food program permanent. We have lowered taxes for more than 21 million Canadians. That is in addition to all the other measures we implemented in budget 2025 and the economic update. Still, when we rolled out these meaningful measures—not just empty words—to help put more money in Canadians’ pockets, my colleague voted against them. I am just trying to square that with what we heard tonight. I completely agree with her that we need to be there for ordinary folks, but how does she reconcile what she said tonight with her voting record?”

Mr. Speaker, Reasoning · 33 wordsI would be happy to reconcile what I am suggesting tonight, and that is the fact that we need to get the government to stop spending. We need to get spending under control. Claims · 63 wordsThe deficit has doubled from what the government inherited.¹ We, as an opposition, have identified $150 billion in potential savings, roughly $10,000 for every Canadian.² Instead of having money swallowed up by unnecessary spending, like spending money on consultants or the boondoggle that is the Alto project, perhaps the government needs to put its money where its mouth is and look after Canadians.
