Rhonda Kirkland Conservative
“Canada is the only G20 country in a recession, but the Prime Minister refuses to talk about it. Canadians are worried about their jobs and money. I want the Prime Minister to tell Canadians if our country is in a recession.”
“Mr. Speaker, under the Liberal Prime Minister, Canada is the only G20 country in a recession, yet for a week now, the Prime Minister has outright refused to address the seriousness of the situation, ignoring the fact that Canadians are worried about their jobs, their savings and whether they can afford to make ends meet. The Prime Minister has spent more time avoiding the word “recession” than he has explaining the plan to end one. Will the Prime Minister stop dodging the question and tell Canadians if we are in a recession or just a technical recession?”
