Pat Kelly Conservative
“The government spent the last ten years borrowing and wasting money instead of building homes, roads, and pipelines. Now housing and groceries are too expensive. Will this year's deficit be more than $31 billion?”
“Mr. Speaker, the government inherited a balanced budget and then spent the last 10 years borrowing, spending, squandering and taxing hundreds of billions of dollars while home ownership slipped out of reach for the middle class and millions more cannot afford groceries. For the last 10 years, Canada should have been building pipelines, houses, ports and roads, but these Liberals built bureaucracies, slush funds and debt repayments. Again, will the deficit exceed $31 billion, yes or no?”
