Todd Doherty Conservative
“Canada's economy is shrinking, and we are in a recession. The government will not meet its spending goals. I want the Prime Minister to tell us if we are in a recession or a technical recession.”
“Madam Speaker, every Liberal campaign is on the Prime Minister being the man with the plan and an economic genius. However, under the Liberal Prime Minister, Canada is the only G20 country to fall into a recession. The Parliamentary Budget Officer has now confirmed that there is less than a 1% chance the government will meet its own fiscal anchor. After an economic decline in three of the last four quarters, he cannot even tell us whether we are in a recession or a technical recession, so I will ask again: Which one is it?”
