Pierre Poilievre Conservative
“There is a mental health crisis in Canada, and it is linked to high living costs. People cannot afford food, heat, or their mortgages. At the same time, Liberal insiders are taking public money with help from the Prime Minister. The government needs to focus on hard-working taxpayers instead.”
“Mr. Speaker, the member is absolutely right. There is a mental health crisis in this country. He mentioned credit cards. Let us be honest, the two are linked. When people are forced to put their groceries on their credit card, when they are plunging into their savings just to keep the heat on in the winter, when they are falling behind on mortgage payments and when one in three of them is skipping meals because they cannot afford to eat, do we think that does not affect someone’s mental health? Of course it does. There are two economies in this country. There is one for the suffering people who are overcome with the anxiety that they cannot get by and they worry about their children’s future and one for the club of Liberal insiders who are looting the public treasury with the help and aid of the Prime Minister. It is time that we had one Canada for all Canadians, for the people who work hard, pay their taxes and play by the rules.”
