Eric Lefebvre Conservative
“Canada has high unemployment and Canadians are struggling. The government is wasting billions of dollars on bad deals and overspending. Why is the Prime Minister asking Canadians to sacrifice while his government spends wildly?”
“Mr. Speaker, all G7 countries are facing the same challenges, yet Canada has the second-highest unemployment rate among them. While Canadians are tightening their belts in the midst of a recession, the Liberals’ wasteful spending is out of control. Just look at Cúram. The budgeted amount was $1.75 billion but the actual cost is $6.6 billion, which is a deficit of $5 billion. What about the plot of land that was rented for $13,500 a year, for which the Liberal government is paying $20 million a year? Why is the Prime Minister asking Canadians to make sacrifices while the government is spending money like there is no tomorrow?”
