“The deficit will reach $63 billion this year, and interest on the debt costs a family of four $6,000. Families are struggling while the government keeps spending. I want to know if the Prime Minister will accept my invitation to appear before the finance committee.”
“Mr. Speaker, the federal deficit will reach $63 billion this year. National interest payments will cost the equivalent of $6,000 for a Canadian family of four. However, the government continues to run up deficits while families are struggling to make ends meet. One of my constituents wrote to me and said that she is collecting empties to be able to fill up her gas tank to pick up her daughter. That is what life is like under the Liberals. I asked the Prime Minister to appear before the Standing Committee on Finance. Will he accept my invitation?”
