Adam Chambers Conservative
“I want the Prime Minister to come to the finance committee to answer questions. He broke his fiscal promise and ran up the debt, and he does not come to question period every day. He should want to answer for his choices.”
“Mr. Speaker, I have shared many good conversations about economics with my colleague. I find him to be incredibly smart, and his question is quite correct. The Prime Minister does not need to show up to question period every day, and he does not, which is maybe why we are asking that he might show up to a committee to answer some questions about this. While I have a lot of respect for the finance minister, and I hold him in very high regard as a parliamentarian, this fiscal promise to Canadians was not the finance minister’s promise. This was the Prime Minister’s promise. It is the Prime Minister’s choice to blow through the fiscal anchor. It is the Prime Minister’s choice to put our debt on a bad track. Frankly, the Prime Minister should want to answer questions.”
