Jacques Gourde Conservative
“Liberal overspending is putting too much debt onto our children and grandchildren. The government plans to spend $288.7 billion more than it takes in over the next five years, bringing total debt to $1.593 trillion. I want the government to balance its budget.”
“Mr. Speaker, we cannot become masters of our destiny by mortgaging our grandchildren’s future. Canadians are trapped by Liberal debt. The projected deficit for the next five years is $288.7 billion, just for government operations, bringing the total to $1.593 trillion. When will the Liberal government start thinking about returning to a balanced budget?”
