Gabriel Hardy Conservative
“Canada is in a recession, the economy is shrinking, and the government is borrowing too much money. Will the Prime Minister admit that he has failed to manage the economy?”
“Mr. Speaker, under this new Liberal Prime Minister, Canada is the only G20 country in a recession. The economy has shrunk in three out of four quarters. Productivity is falling. Investors are fleeing the country. Government borrowing is $7 billion above target. Today, the Parliamentary Budget Officer said that the Liberal government has only a 1% chance of meeting its budgetary commitments. My question is very simple. Does the Prime Minister acknowledge, yes or no, that his management of the country’s economy is a failure?”
