Kyle Seeback Conservative
“The government's deficit is going up, not down. Canadians also have high personal debt just to buy food. The government is spending more money to pay interest on its debt than it spends on health care. I want to know why they keep adding to Canada's debt.”
“Madam Speaker, they really did learn how to manipulate numbers from Bernie Madoff. They say that the deficit is down. They projected a terrible deficit. They just made up a number. It is actually double what it was under Justin Trudeau. That is up, not down. I hate to break it to these guys. Canadians now have the highest household debt in the G7. Why? They are borrowing money to pay for their daily and weekly costs, including groceries. Everything has gotten worse under the Liberals, including debt. Why do they keep racking up the debt on Canada’s credit card so that we spend more on just the interest portion of servicing the debt than we do on health care?”
