Jasraj Hallan Conservative
“The budget watchdog found the government left 7 billion dollars out of its deficit forecast. That will cost each Canadian 150 dollars. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister spent 200,000 dollars on food and wine for three flights while more people use food banks. Did he mislead Canadians, or is the country in a recession?”
“Madam Speaker, the only leader in the entire G20 to plunge their economy into a recession was exposed by the PBO for leaving $7 billion out of the deficit projections. That is an extra $150 out of each Canadian’s pocket. However, it does not matter to the guy who has sent a record number of Canadians into food banks, while he stuffs his face with $200,000 of crème brûlée and fine wines on just three taxpayer-funded flights. Was the Prime Minister technically misleading Canadians or are we in a full-blown Liberal recession?”
