“Canadians are struggling to buy food, and food bank use is way up. At the same time, the government is running a $67-billion deficit. Will the Prime Minister admit his spending is costing Canadians?”

“Madam Speaker, there is nothing more important than having enough to eat. After 10 years of Liberal governance, the situation here in Canada is terrible. One in three Canadians has to borrow money to put food on the table. Some 2.2 million Canadians are visiting food banks every month. What is really heartbreaking is that one in three children has to go to a food bank. That does not make any sense. Now, the Prime Minister has just tabled a $67‑billion deficit. Will he admit that he is yet another costly Liberal and that Canadians are now paying the price for that?”

“The parliamentary secretary used to balance the budget in Quebec, but now his government has a 67-billion-dollar deficit. The Liberals spend money on programs that do not work, and over two million Canadians use food banks. How can he be proud of his government's bad record?”

“Madam Speaker, the parliamentary secretary knows very well that I have a great deal of respect for him because, when he was a member of the provincial government, he ran a zero deficit. However, he is currently a member of a government that has run up a $67‑billion deficit. The problem is that these Liberals have launched all kinds of programs over the past 10 years, all with zero results. Some 2.2 million Canadians are going to food banks. Is the parliamentary secretary proud of how poorly his colleagues are handling things, considering how well he managed Quebec’s affairs?”
