“The government has doubled the deficit. This huge debt hurts Canadian families, seniors, and students who are already struggling. The government can fix this, and I want to know why it keeps spending so much.”
“Mr. Speaker, let us focus on the facts. The Liberals are spending so much that they have actually doubled Trudeau’s deficit. That is quite the accomplishment, because Trudeau’s deficit, of course, was massive in nature, historic, in fact, so the fact that the government has doubled it is quite something. The reason this matters so much is not that they spent so much money, but that they did it and incurred debt, and that debt lands on the backs of Canadians, whether it is families or seniors or students, who are doing their very best to make ends meet. The government can do something about it, so why does it insist on being an incredibly costly, ineffective Liberal government?”
