Liberal on The Budget 2026-11-06

71 words · 8 sentences · 8 clauses

Replying to Dominique Vien (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, here is what Gérald Fillion said on Téléjournal yesterday: “We are back to the time-honoured tradition of big-spending Liberal budgets.” The budget adds a record $765 billion in new debt over five years. That is $44,000 per household. Meanwhile, families are struggling to afford groceries and young people cannot afford a home. Will the Liberals finally listen to us and agree to our plan to save Canadians money?”
