Pierre Poilievre Conservative
“Canada is in a recession and people are losing their jobs. I want the Prime Minister to answer if we are in a recession or just a technical recession.”
“Mr. Speaker, it was the only promise he made during the election. He gave the same forecast a few days ago. After that, we found out that Canada is the only G20 nation in a recession. That means Canadians are skipping meals, 112,000 people have lost their jobs, and we have the second-worst unemployment rate in the G7. Can the Prime Minister rise and answer a very simple question: Are we in a recession or just a technical recession?”
