“The government talks a lot but does not help people with high costs. Money belongs to the people who earned it, not the government. We found 150 billion dollars in wasteful government spending on consultants, foreign aid, and bureaucracy. That equals about 10,000 dollars for each family. The minister needs to listen to struggling Canadians.”
“Mr. Speaker, again, we get all talk and no results. The minister does not need to take lessons from us, but he should take lessons from or at least listen to Olesya and Ariella. We believe that money belongs in the hands of the people who earned it instead of in the hands of the government that continues to tax it. We have identified $150 billion in irresponsible spending here in Ottawa on things such as consultants, foreign aid and bureaucracy. That is nearly $10,000 for families such as theirs. If the minister does not take lessons from them, will he at least listen to Canadians who are struggling out there?”
