“The Prime Minister promised to spend less, but he added 90 billion dollars in new spending. Operating costs and the size of government both went up. Will he promise to keep the deficit under 31 billion dollars?”

“Mr. Speaker, when the Prime Minister took office, he pledged to spend less than Justin Trudeau. Instead, he added $90 billion of net new spending, two-thirds of that on day-to-day operations. Bureaucracy is up 7% and operating costs are up 9%, all higher than his promised savings. He is putting the nation’s finances on a credit card and pretending all of that is normal. Will the Prime Minister commit today that his deficit will not exceed the already excessive $31 billion Justin Trudeau left behind, or has he simply grabbed Trudeau’s credit card and asked for a higher limit?”

“The Prime Minister doubled the debt and deficit. This caused higher food prices, rent, and household debt for Canadians. I want him to stop this heavy spending.”

“Mr. Speaker, nobody thought it was possible to outspend Justin Trudeau, but here we are, with the same cast of characters sitting in the exact same seats saying the same thing. The Prime Minister doubled last year’s deficit and sent the bill to Canadian kitchen tables: the worst grocery prices, the highest household debt, the worst housing costs in the G7. Those are the actual facts. When Liberals doubled the debt, they doubled the food bank lineups and they doubled the rent, passing on the balance from the credit card to every Canadian family. Will the Prime Minister stop the credit card budgeting, or does he think Canadians can also just apply for a higher limit?”

“The Prime Minister's high spending has caused high food prices and high debt for Canadians. I want him to stop spending so much money on debt in the new budget.”

“Mr. Speaker, the only surplus this Prime Minister knows is the one in his offshore tax haven. The guy literally doubled Trudeau’s deficit and gave Canadians the worst food inflation in the G7 and the worst household debt in the G7. Tomorrow, he is going to table another costly credit card budget and put it on the national credit card, all on the backs of Canadians. Will the Prime Minister end his credit card budgeting so Canadians can finally afford to live?”

“The Prime Minister promised to spend less, but he increased government offices, consultants, and the deficit. Will the government stop spending so much money so Canadians can afford to live?”

“Mr. Speaker, the only thing these guys have built so far is literally 12 bureaucracies, nothing else. The Prime Minister said he would spend less. A year after that, he has increased bureaucracy, he has increased consultants and he has increased the deficit, all on the national credit card, all on the backs of Canadians. Once again, will the Liberals end their credit card budgeting so Canadians can finally afford to live?”

“Government spending makes life more expensive. Since 2015, the Liberals have doubled the debt, housing costs, and food bank visits. Will the Prime Minister promise that tomorrow's deficit will not be higher than $31 billion?”

“Mr. Speaker, the cost of government drives up the cost of living. The more the government spends, the more things cost. Since 2015, the Liberals have doubled the debt while doubling housing costs and food bank lineups. The Prime Minister doubled Justin Trudeau’s deficit, proving that he is just another Liberal. Can he commit that tomorrow’s deficit announcement will not be higher than the already reckless, inflationary $31-billion deficit that Justin Trudeau left behind, yes or no?”

“The government spent the last ten years borrowing and wasting money instead of building homes, roads, and pipelines. Now housing and groceries are too expensive. Will this year's deficit be more than $31 billion?”

“Mr. Speaker, the government inherited a balanced budget and then spent the last 10 years borrowing, spending, squandering and taxing hundreds of billions of dollars while home ownership slipped out of reach for the middle class and millions more cannot afford groceries. For the last 10 years, Canada should have been building pipelines, houses, ports and roads, but these Liberals built bureaucracies, slush funds and debt repayments. Again, will the deficit exceed $31 billion, yes or no?”

“The Prime Minister promised to spend less, but he added $90 billion in new spending. Will he promise today to keep the deficit under $31 billion?”

“Mr. Speaker, when the Prime Minister took office, the projected deficit was $31 billion. He promised to spend less. Instead, he spent more. He piled on $90 billion in new spending, not on results but on bigger government. Bureaucracy is up, costs are up and Canadians are paying the price. Will the Prime Minister commit today that his deficit will not exceed the already outrageous $31 billion left behind by his predecessor, yes or no?”
