Gérard Deltell Conservative
“The deficit doubled, living costs rose, fewer homes are being built, and 2.2 million Canadians use food banks. I want the Prime Minister to defend this record.”
“Mr. Speaker, I hope this government will take the data from Statistics Canada and the budget into account. This past year, the deficit was twice as high as expected. The cost of living went up. Housing starts have declined since May. Unfortunately, and this may be the worst part of this government’s record, 2.2 million Canadians, one-third of them children, have to rely on food banks for food. That is the Liberal record. Can the Prime Minister stand up and defend his record?”
