Eric Lefebvre Conservative
“The Liberal government doubled the national debt from $700 billion to $1.4 trillion in 10 years. Because of this, every child in Canada is born owing $44,000. That is unacceptable.”
“Mr. Speaker, my colleague opposite, whom I like a lot, also has the privilege of being a grandfather. It is unacceptable that our children and grandchildren are already $44,000 in debt the day they are born because the Liberal government caused the deficit to balloon from around $700 billion to $1.4 trillion in the space of 10 years.”
