“The Prime Minister is spending too much and causing high costs. Many seniors in Quebec worry they cannot afford retirement or must go back to work. Will the Prime Minister cut his spending deficits?”

“Mr. Speaker, according to Le Journal de Montréal, while this Liberal Prime Minister continues to pay the nation’s bills with a credit card, half of Quebeckers aged 50 and older are worried they will not have enough money for retirement. What is more, twice as many Quebeckers now have to go back to work during retirement just to make ends meet. After 10 years of inflationary deficits and taxes, the Prime Minister is increasing spending even further. Is he going to reduce these inflationary deficits, or is he going to charge it to seniors’ credit cards?”

“The Prime Minister is spending too much borrowed money, which drives up taxes and the cost of living. Will he cut the deficit tomorrow, or will he borrow even more?”

“Mr. Speaker, it is a sovereign wealth fund with no wealth. There is no wealth to put into it. It is really more of a debt fund. It is a credit card budget: more debt, more costs, more inflation, more taxes, more of the same. This Prime Minister is just another Liberal. He inherited a jaw-dropping $31‑billion deficit from Justin Trudeau, but since then, he has added $90 billion in inflationary spending. Tomorrow, will he reduce the deficit or will he put all that on the national credit card and drive up the cost of living even more?”

“The Liberals doubled Canada's debt, housing costs, and food bank visits. Now the new Prime Minister is spending even more. I want to know if he will keep this year's deficit under $31 billion, or spend more than that.”

“Mr. Speaker, more debt, more costs, more taxes. The Prime Minister is just another Liberal. The Liberal government doubled the debt, doubled housing costs and doubled food bank lineups. The previous prime minister left behind an outrageous $31-billion deficit for this fiscal year. Since that time, the new Liberal Prime Minister has been spending at even higher rates and putting it on the national credit card. That means the bankers make more and Canadian workers and seniors keep less. Will the Prime Minister at least cap the deficit at Trudeau’s $31 billion or will he break through that limit and put it on the credit card?”

“I asked the Prime Minister a question. He is avoiding it, and someone else is answering instead.”

“Mr. Speaker, the question was for the Prime Minister, who is again in hiding and, instead, what we got is a man talking about a sovereign— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!”

“The Prime Minister wants to borrow $25 billion for a new fund after already doubling the national debt. Will he borrow even more money tomorrow?”

“Mr. Speaker, we need to actually have wealth for a sovereign wealth fund. What the Liberal Prime Minister is proposing to do is use the credit card in order to put $25 billion into a Liberal slush fund. This is after the Liberal government doubled the debt and gave us the worst inflation in 40 years. The Prime Minister is spending more: more taxes, more costs, more of the same. Will he put it all on the nation’s credit card again tomorrow?”

“The Prime Minister's economic choices have made food and housing too expensive and given Canada high debt and unemployment. He already has a 31-billion-dollar deficit this year. Will he borrow even more money tomorrow?”

“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister cannot answer questions in the House of Commons because he has been wrong on every single major economic issue of our time, and the results are what Canadians are paying for now: more costs, more debt, more taxes and more of the same. In fact, the Prime Minister has given Canada the worst food inflation in the G7, the worst household debt in the G7, the worst housing costs in the G7, and the second-highest unemployment in the G7. Tomorrow, he intends to put it all on the national credit card. Trudeau had a $31-billion deficit left over for this year. Will the Prime Minister break through that limit and put that on the national credit card as well?”

“The Liberals are spending tens of billions of dollars on consultants, corporate welfare, and useless projects. This spending causes inflation. I want the government to stop spending this money.”

“Mr. Speaker, I am glad he asked, because I have some direct answers. This is how to answer a question. What is inflationary spending? It is $90 billion for the wasteful Alto project; $1 billion for a gun grab that the public safety minister admits will not stop crime; $20 billion, which is double, for consultants; a 7% increase in the spending on the national bureaucracy; over $1 billion in handouts to fake and phony refugees; a 100% increase in spending on corporate welfare. It is all inflationary spending. Will the Liberals stop putting it on the national credit card and get rid of it instead?”
