Eric Lefebvre Conservative
“Canadians need good jobs, not government cheques. Economic growth is down to 0.9 percent and inflation is high. More people need food banks, but the government keeps bragging about the economy. The Liberals need to stop adding to the debt.”
“Mr. Speaker, what Canadians want is to have money in their pockets from a good job. That is what they need, not cheques from the government. On Friday, the Minister of Finance was bragging about the economic situation. The Parliamentary Budget Officer just trimmed her outlook for growth to 0.9%, and inflation is projected to be 2.8%. While the minister is patting himself on the back, families are struggling to make ends meet. I would invite the minister to take a look at the front page of the Journal de Québec. The number of requests for food assistance is skyrocketing. That is what life is like under the Liberals. They need to stop racking up endless debt.”
