Greg McLean Conservative
“The federal debt is over $1.4 trillion, and each Canadian pays about $2,000 a year just on the interest. This government debt causes higher inflation and leaves Canadians with less money. I want the Liberals to remember they work for Canadian taxpayers.”
“Mr. Speaker, the federal debt is now over $1.4 trillion. That means that each Canadian is now paying an average of almost $2,000 per year in interest on government debt alone. Liberals call that affordability. I thank central bankers. These deficits are about wealth transfer, nothing less. The more the Liberal government increases the debt, the higher inflation will rise, and lower spending power will result. Canadians pay more and get less. When will Liberals understand whom they work for, international bankers or the Canadian taxpayer?”
