Melissa Lantsman Conservative
“The government's spending made life worse for Canadians. We now have high debt, high unemployment, and the worst food and housing costs in the G7. When will the government stop spending more money than it has?”
“Mr. Speaker, I doubt that Canadians will drink all that Kool-Aid, because they spent more and things actually got worse. After a decade of Liberal deficits, Canadians have the worst grocery inflation, the highest household debt, the worst housing costs and the second-highest unemployment in all of the G7. On top of all of that, Liberal ministers got rich and Canadians got the bill. These holdover ministers still have not learned that we cannot borrow our way to prosperity. I will ask again. How much more do Canadians have to pay before the government learns to live within its means?”
