Jean-Denis Garon Bloc Québécois
“The government should not pay for defence by cutting money for health care, public transit, and media. They can afford these things if they stop giving money to oil companies and American tech companies.”
“Mr. Speaker, the economic update is also an opportunity to remind the Liberals that the tariff crisis is not the only crisis happening right now. Yes, we have to invest in defence, but that is no reason to cut health care funding, which they plan to do starting in 2028. It is no reason to abandon our media. It is no reason to cut funding for public transit. The Liberals can tackle all of these crises if they stop subsidizing oil companies and capitulating to U.S. web and digital giants. Will they take a stand?”
