Mr. Speaker, Reasoning · 33 wordsCanadians expect their government to manage public finances responsibly. That means a credible fiscal anchor to bring debt under control, a path to a balanced budget and a full accounting of government borrowing. Positioning · 8 wordsThis costly credit card budget falls well short.Positioning Claims · 33 wordsFederal debt continues to rise with no plan to balance the overall budget. Debt interest will cost Canadians more than $60 billion this year, more than health care and more than national defence.¹² Reasoning · 20 wordsCPP contributions are there to support Canadians’ retirement. They should never be used as permission for Ottawa to borrow more. Claims · 49 wordsThe $765 billion more in debt piled on in this budget will ultimately drive up interest rates and taxes.³ For people in Waterdown, Paris and Binbrook in my area, this costly credit card budget means higher mortgage payments and higher car payments, the very last thing they can afford.
