“The Prime Minister is spending too much money. Government spending went up by nine per cent and ninety billion dollars this year. I want the finance minister to promise to stop borrowing money in his update today.”

“Mr. Speaker, a year after the federal election, the Prime Minister has shown that he is just another high-spending Liberal. His costly credit card budgeting is forcing Canadians to use their credit cards. We have $90 billion in new spending and spending is up 9% this year alone. When the finance minister presents his spring economic statement this afternoon, will he commit to no credit card budgeting so that Canadians can finally afford to live again?”

“The government needs to stop overspending because deficits hurt our economy and workers. Will the Prime Minister promise to keep the deficit under $31 billion this year?”

“Mr. Speaker, as a former governor of the Bank of Canada, the Prime Minister should know that fiscal discipline is non-negotiable and that deficits undermine investor confidence and harm Canadian workers. Conservatives are asking the Liberals to stop their credit card budgeting and to show some fiscal restraint. When the Prime Minister presents his spring economic statement this afternoon, will he commit to a deficit of no greater than $31 billion for the sake of Canadians?”

“The government is spending too much money and raising taxes while Canadians struggle. This spending is causing higher prices. I want the Prime Minister to stop this spending so life is affordable.”

“Mr. Speaker, we are seeing more debt, more spending, more taxes and more of the same. That is what the Liberals are toasting champagne to today. While Canadians are tightening their belts, the Liberals are celebrating massive deficits. This is the inflationary spending that will force Canadians to take on more debt and make real sacrifices just to get by. Will the Liberal Prime Minister end his costly credit card budgeting so Canadians can afford to live?”

“Canadians are struggling with high food prices, housing costs, and debt because of government deficits. When will the Prime Minister promise to keep the deficit under $31 billion?”

“Mr. Speaker, we have quite the contradiction. We have a Liberal government celebrating bigger deficits and an entire country struggling under them. Canada now faces the worst grocery inflation in the G7, the worst household debt and the highest housing costs, and lineups at the food banks are surging. There is nothing to celebrate about that. When will the Liberal Prime Minister commit to capping the deficit at no more than the already reckless $31 billion that the last guy left behind?”

“The Prime Minister broke his promise to spend less and added billions to the deficit. This high spending and high taxes make food, housing, and life too expensive for Canadians. I want to know when he will stop spending so much money.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister promised to spend less, but a year in, he spent $90 billion more. Who thought Trudeau could be outspent? Well, his former adviser, the PM, said “watch me” and doubled his deficit. Deficits drive inflation and higher credit card, grocery and mortgage bills here at home. Deficits, taxes and red tape cause the worst food inflation in the G7. With high housing costs, high food bank use and a jobs crisis for young Canadians, when will the self-identified European PM stop his high-spending, high-flying lifestyle that everyone else pays for so Canadians can have a high quality of life?”

“Government rules make it take too long to build energy and mining projects, and life is unaffordable. When will the Prime Minister stop high government spending so Canada can compete?”

“Mr. Speaker, the government has made it so Canadians cannot afford essentials, and experts say Liberal red tape is worse for Canada than Trump’s tariffs. Businesses say Liberals must cut their own red tape for investor confidence so proponents can build. The PM says Canada is in a crisis but will not match U.S. emergency timelines, put two-year reviews in the law or even define Canada’s national interest. Here at home, it takes over two years to approve a domestic natural gas line expansion and 20 years to do a mine, and the Liberals say we are not grateful enough. If the PM says Canada is in a crisis, when will he scrap his costly credit card budgets so Canadians can compete?”

“The government is spending too much money and doubling the deficit instead of cutting back. Most of this new money goes to government bureaucracy, not investments. This overspending makes life more expensive for Canadians, and I want to know who the Prime Minister expects to pay for it.”

“Mr. Speaker, Canadians were promised restraint. Instead, they got more Liberal overspending, more debt, higher costs and more of the same. The Prime Minister did not change course from Justin Trudeau. He doubled down, doubling the deficit and, according to the independent budget watchdog, sending nearly two-thirds of new spending into day-to-day operations and a growing bureaucracy, not real investment. Those choices are hurting Canadians’ daily lives. The cost of living has skyrocketed, food bank use is rising, and more households are maxing out credit cards just to afford groceries. After blowing past Trudeau-era spending and deficits, who does the Prime Minister think pays the bill?”
