“People in my riding are going into debt just to buy food. At the same time, the government is borrowing 25 billion dollars to start an investment fund. Real funds use profits from resources, not debt. How can the government say it is managing our money well?”
“Mr. Speaker, families in Montmorency—Charlevoix are going into debt to put food on the table. Meanwhile, the Liberals, true to form, are setting up a fund that will start out $25 billion in the hole. A true sovereign wealth fund is created with wealth, using the proceeds from resources sold on the international market. Norway, Saudi Arabia and Singapore are good examples that we should emulate. They did not rely on debt to pay for their funds. The Prime Minister is borrowing to spend, while Quebeckers are borrowing to eat. How can the Liberals look families in the eye and say that they are managing public funds correctly and efficiently?”
