Carol Anstey Conservative
“Canada is the only G7 country in a recession. The government has made life too expensive and cost people their jobs, especially in Newfoundland and Labrador. I want to know why other G7 countries are not in a recession if our problems are global.”
“Mr. Speaker, Canada is the only country in the G7 in a recession. In Newfoundland and Labrador, parents are watching their children pack their bags to leave the province because the Liberal government is driving up the cost of living, killing opportunities and local jobs. This is a full-blown Liberal recession. Statistics Canada has confirmed that in my province, one in 10 workers are unemployed. Nationally, insolvencies are at their highest level since 2009 and household debt is the worst in the G7. If Canada’s recession is just about global energy and tariffs, why is it that no other G7 countries are in a recession?”
