Eric Melillo Conservative
“Canada has high unemployment, high debt, expensive housing, and is in a recession. People cannot afford food, gas, or bills. I want the Prime Minister to admit his government caused this.”
“Madam Speaker, under the Liberal Prime Minister, Canada is the only G20 country that is in a recession. We also have the second-highest unemployment in the G7, the worst household debt and the worst housing costs. The Liberals will say that this is just a technical recession, but there is nothing technical about Canadians who are struggling to feed their families, fill their gas tanks or make their bill payments. Will the Prime Minister tell us finally whether this is a Liberal recession or just a technical recession? Which is it?”
