“The Liberals doubled Canada's national debt in 11 years. We now spend more money on debt interest than on health care. I want to know if the government plans to add even more debt today.”

“Mr. Speaker, from 1867 to 2015, over 148 years, Canadian governments accumulated a certain amount of debt. Over the last 11 years, the Liberal Prime Minister and Justin Trudeau doubled it. They doubled the entire national debt in 11 years. This now means we pay more interest on the debt than we do in health care transfers. There will be an economic update today. Are these Liberals really going to celebrate another massive increase of the debt that our children and grandchildren will have to pay off?”

“The Liberals doubled the national debt in eleven years. Their spending has made Canada unaffordable, and it is not working.”

“Mr. Speaker, the member said, “We are spending less to invest more”. That is the kind of thing someone’s crooked accountant tells someone when all their money has gone missing. This is exactly what the Liberals kind of do. They make up words and phrases to cover up for the fact that they have doubled the national debt. Some hon. members: Oh, oh! Kyle Seeback: Mr. Speaker, they are shouting because they do not like it. It took 148 years to accumulate a certain amount of debt. Eleven years of these guys running things and they more than doubled it. The result is our children and grandchildren are mired in debt. With all of their investments, why is it the least affordable country we have had in the history of Canada? These investments clearly are not working.”

“The government is failing to solve US tariffs, which hurts business investments in Canada. The Liberals are spending too much money and growing the deficit. I want the Prime Minister to stop this overspending so Canadians can afford to live.”

“Mr. Speaker, Brian Kingston, president of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers Association, took a moment to say, “There’s clearly a disconnect between statements and implementation. The longer this goes on, with no resolution on US tariffs, it will have real implications for investments in this country.” The only thing the Liberals have invested in is more costly bureaucracy. They are using Canadians’ own taxpayer money to fuel deficits larger than Justin Trudeau’s. When will the Liberal Prime Minister take a moment to end his costly credit card budgeting, so that Canadians can afford to live?”

“Canadians are struggling with high youth unemployment, food bank visits, and record debt. I want the Prime Minister to promise that the deficit will not go over 31 billion dollars.”

“Mr. Speaker, everyday Canadians do not have time to worry about what the G7 or IMF says. At this moment in time, we have record high unemployment for youth. At this moment in time, we have record lineups at food banks. At this moment in time, Liberals want to waste $1 billion on a gun grab that nobody wants. At this moment in time, Canadians have the highest household debt at over $3 trillion. At this moment, we are at year 11 of record Liberal deficits. When will the Liberal Prime Minister commit to capping the deficit at the reckless $31 billion left by Justin Trudeau?”

“The Prime Minister is doubling the deficit and borrowing too much money. This causes inflation, and many Canadians cannot afford food. I want him to stop this spending.”

“Mr. Speaker, nobody thought it was possible to outspend Justin Trudeau, but the Liberal Prime Minister has doubled Justin’s deficit. He is putting the nation’s bills on a credit card. Canadians will be paying off his debts for generations. I thought he was an economist. Deficit spending leads to inflation. A quarter of Canadians are skipping meals. Will the Liberal Prime Minister stop swiping the nation’s credit card so Canadians can afford to live?”

“The Prime Minister is spending too much money and borrowing too much. This causes high taxes and inflation, and leaves our children with debt. I want him to stop.”

“Mr. Speaker, the only people doing well are people connected to Brookfield. Imagine that, instead of leaving kids with an inheritance, people leave them enough to pay their debts. That is what this Liberal Prime Minister is doing to generations of Canadians. In his first year, operating spending is up 9%. It is enough already. We cannot handle the taxes, we cannot handle the inflation and we cannot continue to borrow like this. Will the Prime Minister stop maxing out our nation’s credit card?”

“The government is spending too much money, which causes high prices and more taxes. This money goes to rich companies instead of people who need it. Canada has high grocery costs, high debt, high housing costs, and high unemployment. I want the Prime Minister to stop this spending so people can afford to live.”

“Mr. Speaker, Liberal spending is out of control. Liberal overspending means higher inflation today and more taxes tomorrow. The money is not getting to Canadians who need it. It is going to well-connected Liberal companies and corporate welfare queens, like Brookfield. Canada has the highest grocery inflation in the G7, the worst household debt, the highest housing costs and the second-highest unemployment in the G7. Will this Liberal Prime Minister end this costly credit card budget so Canadians can afford to live?”

“Canada has high costs for food and housing, and too much debt. Will the Prime Minister promise to keep the deficit under $31 billion?”

“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is just another tax-and-spend Liberal specializing in costly credit card budgeting. Canada now faces the worst grocery inflation, the worst household debt, the highest housing costs and the second-highest unemployment in the G7. Canadians know they cannot borrow their way to prosperity. There is more debt, more costs, more spending, more taxes and more of the same. Will this Liberal Prime Minister commit to capping the deficit at no more than the already reckless $31 billion left by his predecessor and mentor, Justin Trudeau?”

“The Prime Minister is spending too much money and driving up the deficit. Most of this new money goes to everyday operating costs instead of investments. This government spending has made grocery prices go up and forced more people to use food banks. When will the Prime Minister stop spending so much money so people can afford to live?”

“Mr. Speaker, no one thought it possible to outspend Justin Trudeau. This Liberal Prime Minister has somehow managed to. He has added $90 billion above the Trudeau-era levels in new spending and nearly doubled the deficit. Operating costs are up 9% in under a year. Two-thirds of that new spending goes to day-to-day operations, not investment. The result is the worst grocery inflation in the G7 and Canadians putting their own bills on credit cards are going to food banks. When will this Liberal Prime Minister end his costly credit card budgeting so Canadians can afford to live?”
