John Zerucelli Liberal
“We are managing the country's money well, and we lowered the deficit by $11 billion. The Conservatives say they support Canadians, but they vote against tax relief, child care, dental care, and food for students. I want the Conservatives to list which programs they plan to cut.”
“Mr. Speaker, again, this new government is fiscally responsible. We reduced the deficit by $11 billion and we are in the strongest fiscal position in the G7. The Conservatives cannot stand up and say they support Canadians while voting against all the supports that Canadians rely on, including youth. The Conservatives oppose tax relief. They oppose child care. They oppose dental care and the national school food program. Who could be against that? The Conservatives cannot oppose all of those programs and then claim they support them. They cannot have it both ways. When will they table a list of inflationary spending items they are going to cut?”
