Replying to Tamara Jansen (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, what do a leaky roof, a growing credit card bill and Canada have in common? The longer we ignore the problem, the more expensive it gets. Our economy is barely growing, borrowing is way up, and interest rates are on the rise. The Prime Minister promised to put the brakes on spending, but instead he is racking up crazy credit card debt. If his plan is working, why do 12.5 million Canadians, one in three people, need a grocery assistance benefit just to put food on the table?”
