Tamara Jansen Conservative
“Canadians are struggling with high debt, expensive housing, and the cost of food and medicine. The Liberals say the economy is doing great. I want them to explain why so many people feel like they are falling behind.”
“Mr. Speaker, Canada now has some of the highest household debt and least affordable housing in the G7. Food bank use is at a record high. Seniors are skipping meals. Young families are delaying having children. Working parents are choosing between groceries, rent and medication. However, I have heard the Liberals say over and over today that they are improving affordability and that Canada’s economy is doing great. My question is simple. If life is supposedly getting better, why are so many Canadians feeling like they are falling further behind every single month?”
