Roman Baber Conservative
“The Prime Minister promised our economy would grow, but Canada is now in a recession. Millions of people use food banks while he spends thousands of dollars on airplane food. I want him to take blame for the bad economy, build a pipeline, make trade deals, and spend less money.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister promised the fastest-growing economy in the G7. Instead, Canada is the only G7 country in a recession: not a technical recession, a full-blown recession with two consecutive quarters of contraction. Since this Prime Minister took office, Canada has had three out of four quarters of contraction. While 2.2 million Canadians are at the food bank, this Prime Minister spends almost $200,000 on inflight catering on three flights. That $200,000 could feed 10 Canadian families for a whole year. Will the Prime Minister own his economic failure, get a trade deal, build a pipeline and stop spending like a Liberal?”
