Melissa Lantsman Conservative
“The Prime Minister promised to spend less, but he increased spending and doubled the deficit. Canadian families now pay $3,400 this year just for interest on government debt. The Prime Minister must stop this spending so Canadians can get by.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister promised to spend less, but then he spent $35 billion more in the last fiscal update alone. He promised to lower the debt; instead, the deficit doubled from just one year ago. He promised fiscal brilliance, but the not even so conservative Globe and Mail calls that “an inversion of reality”. Once an expensive Liberal, always an expensive Liberal. This year, Canadian families will write a cheque for $3,400 just to cover the interest on the Liberal debt. Why will the Prime Minister not stop forcing Canadians to pay the credit card bill, and just allow them to get by?”
