Replying to Ellis Ross (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government’s new mastered-by-debt budget will make life even more unaffordable in Skeena—Bulkley Valley. There is no trade deal with the United States, $765 billion on the costly national credit card and more money for the Prime Minister’s consulting friends. While the Prime Minister’s friends benefit, last month nearly 30% of Canadians aged 15 and older lived in a household struggling to meet basic financial needs. When will the Prime Minister stop piling on generational debt and start making life more affordable for Canadians?”
