Dave Epp Conservative
“Canada's economy and food processors are struggling because of ten years of bad Liberal policies. I want the Prime Minister to say if he will fix these problems.”
“Mr. Speaker, our “missing middle” processors have been missing. Finally, we are seeing some action, but Canada’s productivity crisis did not start this year. Weak investment did not start this year. Declining competitiveness did not start this year. These are the consequences of a decade of bad Liberal policy choices. As Sylvain Charlebois recently stated: “The greatest threat to Canada’s food economy isn’t a recession. It’s the illusion that someone else is responsible for our economic decline.” Does the Liberal Prime Minister plan to reverse these declines or just have a new definition of a recession?”
