Pierre Poilievre Conservative
“Our economy is in a recession, jobs are being lost, and businesses are going bankrupt. Will the Prime Minister change direction before more businesses fail?”
“Oh, Mr. Speaker, he is transforming the economy. He has transformed it into the only recession in the G20. Regretfully, this year there has been a net loss of 24,000 jobs, meaning that we have the second-highest unemployment in the G7, a third higher than in the United States. Today, Equifax said that “Canadian entrepreneurship is on the decline and business payment challenges continued to build as more companies fell behind on [their] payments”. A third fewer small businesses launched in the last 24 months. Current businesses are going bankrupt. New ones are not launching. Will he reverse course before more go bankrupt?”
