Eric Melillo Conservative
“The Prime Minister promised to manage money well, but this plan spends too much, adds to the debt, and creates a deficit over $65 billion. I want to know how the government can defend this reckless spending while Canadians struggle to afford everyday life.”
“Madam Speaker, the Prime Minister, last year, was elected, in part, on a promise of being a strong fiscal manager. Fast-forward a year to this economic statement and we see, in reality, more spending, higher debt and a budget deficit of over $65 billion, double that of Justin Trudeau, if anyone can believe that. It is interesting to hear the Liberals talking about their strong fiscal position when, in reality, they are bringing forward a reckless fiscal plan. I want to know how the member can explain this reckless policy at a time when Canadians are struggling to get by and facing a cost of living crisis.”
