Pierre Poilievre Conservative
“Canadians have too much debt, and housing, food, and unemployment are too high. I want the Prime Minister to change his policies so people can afford to pay their bills.”
“Mr. Speaker, we have the number one economy in terms of debt for households, the number one economy in the cost of housing and the number one economy in the cost of food inflation. Those are the only metrics on which this government is leading. We are number two when it comes to unemployment, with the unemployment rate being a third higher than in the United States. Now we see the delinquencies and the missed payments leading to a potential bankruptcy crisis, while the Prime Minister sits and hides behind his back bench. Will he stand up, own up, take responsibility and announce the reversal of policies so Canadians can pay their bills?”
