Pat Kelly Conservative
“Canada is in a recession, with three jobless people for every open job and basic costs taking up more than a family's whole income. I want the government to admit its failures caused this, apologize, and use our plan to develop resources and make life affordable.”
“Mr. Speaker, we believe in Canadians. They can talk to CEOs. We are talking to Canadians. This Canada-only recession means that there are three unemployed Canadians for every vacant job. It means that taxes, food, housing and other essentials now account for more than 100% of an average family’s income. Will this Liberal government admit today that its long-term, ongoing failure to build up Canada’s economic resilience has driven Canada into the only G7 recession, apologize and implement the Conservative plan to unlock our resource wealth and make life affordable?”
