Pierre Poilievre Conservative
“We want lower costs, higher pay, and safer streets. Under the Prime Minister, the economy has shrunk, investment has dropped, and Canada now has high debt, expensive housing, and high unemployment. I want him to stand up and answer questions about his record.”
“Mr. Speaker, I will tell the member what we are for. We are for an affordable Canada, a Canada with growing paycheques and safer streets, which is the exact opposite of what the Prime Minister has delivered. This is his record: Count them; there have been five consecutive quarters of declining investment. In three of the last four quarters, the economy has declined. In fact, the GDP of Canada today is smaller than when he became Prime Minister. In fact, the GDP was bigger on the last day of Justin Trudeau in office. We now have the most expensive real estate, the highest household debt and the second-highest unemployment in the G7. Is that why the Prime Minister is afraid to stand in the House and answer a question?”
