Kelly DeRidder Conservative
“Canada is in a recession, and the government is borrowing more money than it planned. I want the Prime Minister to tell Canadians how much money it will take to fix this.”
“Mr. Speaker, I have hope that one day the government will actually answer questions and take accountability, but it seems as though today is not that day. When the news broke that Canada is in a recession, my very first thought was, “When is the government going to ask for another blank cheque?” It is already borrowing over its budget. The spring economic update said it would borrow $65 billion this year. However, the budget watchdog says it is going to be $72 billion. I would like to know just how much the Prime Minister will tell Canadians it is going to take to fix it.”
