Pierre Poilievre Conservative
“Canada is the only G20 country heading into a recession, and I blame the government for it. High costs are hurting people. I want the Prime Minister to tell us if we are in a recession.”
“Mr. Speaker, when there is only one country in the G20 facing a recession, while all the other countries face the same wars and tariffs, then we know it is appropriate to blame the Liberal government. The member talks about glee. Jacqueline has no glee. She actually had to put her dog down because she cannot afford the veterinary bills along with the inflation in her food, her rent and her gas. If the Prime Minister actually cares about Jacqueline, will he stand up and answer the question? Are we in a recession or a technical recession? Which is it?”
