Pierre Poilievre Conservative
“The Minister of Finance is saying things that are not true about our economic growth. Under the Prime Minister, Canada is in last place in the G7, bankrupt, and in a recession. The number of new companies has dropped by 39%. The government needs to get out of the way.”
“Mr. Speaker, apparently, he does not believe in the Prime Minister’s ability to answer questions. The Minister of Finance has spent the last 10 years announcing the worst growth results. Now he is telling falsehoods. He says that Canada’s growth puts it in second place. Under this Prime Minister, Canada is in last place. It is the only G7 or G20 country that is bankrupt. Today, Equifax Canada reported a 39% drop in the number of new companies. When is the government going to get out of the way and end this recession?”
