A debate on the state of Canada's economy and cost of living. The Conservatives pointed out the high number of Canadians relying on food banks and criticized the Liberal government's large deficit spending. The Liberals defended their social program spending, arguing it helps families in need.
“I want to say I'm sad people are hungry. That's why I want the government to spend lots of money on my programs. Canada should be different because of my programs.”
“You used to be good at managing money. But now you're in a government with a huge $67 billion deficit. The problem is this government keeps launching new programs but they don't work. 2.2 million people still need food banks. I respected you but what do you think of your colleagues' failure now?”
“I want to cheer for my government. We have many social programs. We are different from America. Our programs make Canada what it is. We all help each other. Its not every man for himself. We go further by spending together.”
