Jonathan Rowe Conservative
“Many people have lost their jobs, debt is high, and money is leaving Canada. The government needs to admit its economic plans are not working.”
“Mr. Speaker, I do not think those words are very comforting to the apprentices or to the 112,000 people who lost their job in the past three months. Mortgage defaults are growing year over year. Canadian households have the highest debt in the G7. Insolvencies hit their highest level since 2009. Twenty billion dollars has fled this country. How much more data does the government need before it realizes that whatever the Prime Minister is pretending to do is not working?”
