“Government spending and taxes are making life too expensive for families and seniors. People are going into debt just to buy food. The Prime Minister is wasting money on travel while Canadians struggle. When will the government stop this?”

“Mr. Speaker, while the Prime Minister continues to use Canadians’ credit cards by creating more debt and more government spending and taxing more to spend more, families and seniors are paying the price. They are paying more for groceries, gas and housing, to the point where one in three households has to go into debt or dip into their savings to put food on the table. We know that the Prime Minister spent over half a million dollars on in-flight catering on his travels. Does he realize that Quebeckers and Canadians can no longer make ends meet? When will the Liberals stop squeezing Canadians?”

“Canadians are struggling with the cost of living, and seniors cannot afford retirement. I want the Prime Minister to stop running up the deficit and help seniors.”

“Mr. Speaker, my colleague is living in a world of make-believe. One day, the Liberal government will have to wake up and realize that ordinary Canadians are getting crushed by the cost of living. What is more, the seniors who built this country are struggling in their retirement. Our seniors aged 65 and over deserve the utmost respect. Will the Prime Minister stop strutting about on the international stage and running up the deficit and finally show seniors some respect by giving them hope?”

“Many older Quebeckers worry they cannot afford retirement or their bills. I blame Liberal government spending for this. I want the Prime Minister to stop adding to the national debt.”

“Mr. Speaker, more than half of Quebeckers aged 50 and older are worried about not having enough money for their retirement. One in two Quebeckers is worried about not being able to pay their bills. This is the direct result of a decade of Liberal mismanagement and Liberal deficits. The economic update is coming later today, and unfortunately, our seniors will once again pay the price. Will the Prime Minister stop racking up debt on the national credit card, yes or no?”
