Joël Godin Conservative
“Canada is the only G20 country in a recession. The government will not admit it. I want the Prime Minister to be honest and tell Canadians that we are in a recession.”
“Mr. Speaker, a recession is a concept created by economists. They are the ones who set the criteria. Canada is the only G7 country or, pardon me, the only G20 country that is in a recession. I am not making this up; it is a fact. Instead of finding solutions, the Liberals are casting around for a diversion. When the government cannot acknowledge that there is a problem, it cannot find solutions. Will the Prime Minister be honest and tell Canadians that Canada is in a recession?”
