Mr. Speaker, Positioning · 22 words there was a lot of shouting, but if you noticed, there was still no answer. The Liberals are masters of fiscal illusion. Positioning Claims · 36 words They are hiding behind the net debt-to-GDP ratio so they can borrow even more. What they do not tell us is that that calculation subtracts Canadians’ pensions, money that Canadians worked decades to save for retirement. Reasoning · 13 words That money is not for the finance minister to spend or borrow against. The question · 22 words When will they stop using Canadians’ pensions to justify the amount of debt they are leaving for our children and our grandchildren?
