Madam Speaker, Positioning · 24 words my colleague is absolutely right. Partly on point Every single time that we get up in this House, it seems that we are addressing another Liberal failure. Positioning Claims · 29 words We passed Bill C-5 quickly because the government wanted us to help it pass quickly.1 That was a bill to help the government get around previous bad Liberal laws. Off point Procedure · 5 words However, that was not enough. Procedure Claims · 50 words The Liberals need Bill C-39 now.2 Bill C-5 did not do enough, so they created Bill C-39. Now, this House is actually dealing with Bill C-39 as well to deal with other systemic Liberal failures.3 Off point Bill C-38 would provide temporary relief for Canadians. It would be a short-term, welcome measure, Reasoning · 14 words but there is more structural, substantive relief that the government could provide to Canadians. Claims · 18 words The Liberals have increased government revenue, from 2020 to now, from about $380 billion to over $500 billion.4 Positioning · 17 words Ask any Canadian what they have gotten for that massive increase in government revenue from these guys: Positioning Claims · 26 words nothing. They have gotten higher prices. Everything is more expensive in Canada since 2020, thanks to these guys. The Liberals are hauling in way more money, Positioning · 11 words and yet they are delivering nothing for Canadians. Partly on point It is shameful. Positioning Off point
