“People in Oshawa are struggling with the high cost of living. Government deficits cause inflation now and higher taxes later. I want the Prime Minister to stop overspending and cap this year's deficit at $31 billion.”
“Mr. Speaker, my neighbours in Oshawa are already struggling with the high cost of living, yet the Prime Minister is doubling down on the same old reckless Liberal spending. The deficit has ballooned, and the Parliamentary Budget Officer whom the government silenced has said that two-thirds of new spending is going to day-to-day operations and not real investment. Deficits mean inflation today and higher taxes tomorrow. Will the Prime Minister stop the costly credit card budgeting and commit to capping this year’s deficit at $31 billion?”
