Michael Chong Conservative
“We must protect francophone rights, and we need a growing economy to pay for francophone programs. The government just spends more money instead of making the economic changes we need to actually grow the economy.”
“Madam Speaker, I think it is vital to defend the rights of francophones across Canada. I think that starts with ensuring that our economy grows significantly to make it possible to subsidize programs for francophones and the French fact in Canada. The problem with the government’s economic plan is that whenever a challenge arises, its response is more government spending rather than the kind of fundamental economic reforms that would create the conditions for stronger GDP growth and a more productive economy That is the fundamental problem with the government’s plan.”
