Gabriel Hardy Conservative
“The government doubled the deficit in one year, from $31 billion to $65 billion. Canada now spends more on interest than on healthcare for all provinces. I want to know why the government keeps raising spending, taxes, and debt.”
“Mr. Speaker, the more things change, the more they stay the same. These same Liberals have doubled the deficit in a single year. Under the former prime minister, a drama teacher, the annual deficit stood at $31 billion. Today, with a Prime Minister who knows a thing or two about economics, the deficit has climbed to $65 billion. That means higher taxes, more credit card spending and more debt for Canadians. The annual interest payments alone are more than the total health transfers to all the provinces. Why is it that, with the Liberals, there is always more spending, more taxes and more risks being taken with taxpayers’ money?”
