Luc Berthold Conservative
“Canadians are losing jobs and cannot afford groceries. I want the finance minister to care about families before adding more debt and higher costs.”
“Mr. Speaker, I will not ask the finance minister to guess what is in my heart. What is in my heart is the worker I met last week who lost his job. What is in my heart is the family I see at the grocery store forced to choose what to put in their cart. What is in my heart is concern that Canadians are getting poorer, that Canada is changing and that this government is making things worse day after day. Yes, it is Friday. Can this minister show a little compassion and think about the Canadian families he is going to burden with debt while creating even more costs for everyone? That is what is in my heart.”
