Dan Albas Conservative
“The Liberals cannot be trusted with public money. The prime minister spent carelessly, and the budget watchdog says the government will break its own spending limits. I want the member to tell us how badly a credit rating agency would score this government.”
“Mr. Speaker, based on the last question from the member for Winnipeg North, it just shows that the Liberals have no credibility on this file anymore. They, under Justin Trudeau, spent and spent without care. Now, even despite having fiscal anchors that they pinky swore they would follow, the PBO has said that they are set to blow through them. In the member’s opinion, if he were a credit rating agency, how would he rate the performance of the government, from its rhetoric a year ago to the state of the finances today?”
