Andrew Lawton Conservative
“My region has the highest unemployment rate in Canada at 9.2 percent, and families are struggling. The government is spending too much money and has put Canada into a recession. I want to know when it will take responsibility for this.”
“Mr. Speaker, we are never going to get to net zero with that level of gaslighting. My goodness, the London economic region, which includes Elgin and St. Thomas, has the highest unemployment rate in Canada, at 9.2%, with 1,800 jobs lost in April. Does he expect me to go to my constituents and say, “Don’t worry. You can sell all that uranium you’ve been working on”? Families are struggling. Families are suffering. The government keeps spending more and more money and will not even acknowledge the consequences of its actions. When is it going to get serious and account for the fact that it has put Canada into a recession, the only country in the G7 to be there?”
