“Families in my riding are cutting back on essentials to get by. The government needs to do the same. This budget adds a $62-billion deficit and over $60 billion in interest payments on the debt. I want the government to cut spending and reduce the deficit.”
“Mr. Speaker, families in Richmond Centre—Marpole are cutting back on groceries and other essentials to make ends meet. They expect the government to show the same discipline, yet this costly credit card budget has another $62-billion deficit for this year and over $60 billion in debt interest, which is more than the Canada health transfer. A family of four will pay $6,000 just on Canada’s interest payments. This is a budget mastered by deficit. When will the Liberal government cut spending, reduce the deficit and give struggling families breathing room?”
