Eric Lefebvre Conservative
“The Liberals are spending too much money instead of cutting costs, and they announced a job training program without even telling Quebec. They will add $321 billion in debt by 2031. I want to know why they are spending like this when Canadians are struggling.”
“Mr. Speaker, we are talking about workforce training, and yet Quebec was not even aware of this program before it was announced yesterday. A $37-billion increase in spending is not a cut. That is more spending. The Globe and Mail reported this morning that, in the upside-down land of the Liberals, a spending spree is a spending cut and blowing a windfall of billions of dollars is prudent. I hope members are sitting down, because I have some disappointing news. By 2031, the Liberals will have saddled our children and grandchildren with $321 billion in debt. How can the Liberals spend so recklessly when Canadians are struggling to make ends meet?”
