Richard Martel Conservative
“The government is spending too much money. Canada will pay over $53 billion just on debt interest this year. That money is not helping seniors or families. I want to know why the Prime Minister will not cut government spending.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is an important question. If the Liberals truly want to help families and seniors, then they should start by closing the open bar in Ottawa. The Prime Minister is being irresponsible with Canadians’ money. The interest on the Liberal debt will cost more than $53 billion this year. That is money that is not going to seniors, that is not helping families and that is not going to the public service. While Canadians have to trim their budgets just to get by, why is the Prime Minister refusing to cut back on bureaucracy and unnecessary spending?”
