Jagsharan Singh Mahal Conservative
“Canada's economy has shrunk for two quarters in a row, business investment is down, and food bank use is at an all-time high. Canada is the only G7 country in a recession, and I blame the Liberal government.”
“Mr. Speaker, Canada is the only country in the G7 in a recession. There is nothing technical about someone coming home from work and telling their kids that they no longer have a job. Canada’s economy has shrunk for two quarters in a row. Business investment is falling. Food bank use is at an all-time high. This is not a technical recession. This is a full-blown Liberal recession. If global factors are to blame, then why is Canada the only G7 country in a recession?”
