Wayne Long

Liberal on Canada Revenue Agency 2026-10-06

67 words · 7 sentences · 7 clauses

Replying to Jasraj Hallan (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, like a typical Liberal, he thinks answered calls being accurate only 17% of the time is a huge success. This is the guy who said the buck stops with him when it comes to CRA problems. Now the taxpayers’ ombudsman has a 27% increase in complaints about the incompetent Liberal government. Liberals will fleece Canadians for every single dollar, but Liberal-connected insiders who are part of the green slush fund get a cushy $34-million tax break. Why are Liberals so ruthless with taxpayers and toothless when it comes to their own scandals?”
