François-Philippe Champagne Liberal
“The budget lowers the deficit and slows government spending growth. It also invests 400 billion dollars into the country and provides 22 billion dollars to help with costs. That is why the House should support it.”
“Mr. Speaker, let me try to help the member because I appreciate that he only had a few hours to read the budget. We had a lower deficit last year, we have a lower deficit this year, and we will have a lower deficit during the fiscal period. That is number one. Number two, we are bringing direct program expenses from 8% in the last decade to 2%. We are kick-starting an investment supercycle, we are investing $400 billion in capital investment over the framework, we are putting forward $22 billion to make life more affordable for Canadians, and the Canadian economy is going to be $4 trillion by the end of this decade. We are going to build Canada strong. Canadians understand that. On this side of the house, we understand that every day is a good day to fight for Canadians.”
