Fraser Tolmie Conservative
“The Prime Minister is spending too much money and driving up the deficit. Most of this new money goes to everyday operating costs instead of investments. This government spending has made grocery prices go up and forced more people to use food banks. When will the Prime Minister stop spending so much money so people can afford to live?”
“Mr. Speaker, no one thought it possible to outspend Justin Trudeau. This Liberal Prime Minister has somehow managed to. He has added $90 billion above the Trudeau-era levels in new spending and nearly doubled the deficit. Operating costs are up 9% in under a year. Two-thirds of that new spending goes to day-to-day operations, not investment. The result is the worst grocery inflation in the G7 and Canadians putting their own bills on credit cards are going to food banks. When will this Liberal Prime Minister end his costly credit card budgeting so Canadians can afford to live?”
