A debate where the Conservatives criticized the Liberals for racking up $1 trillion in national debt over 10 years, which they argued would lead to higher taxes and less money for Canadian families. The Liberals defended their economic record, citing Canada's high economic growth compared to other G7 countries.
“I just listed a lot of taxpayer money we are spending. That shows I am a good minister who helps important industries. I want my spending to make the economy grow. I am not going to admit that maybe we can't afford all this.”
“The Liberals are spending too much money and it's making everything cost more. Their debt will be a big problem for our kids. The Prime Minister should stop spending so much.”
“He's just repeating talking points from his boss. I won't let that slide. Look, Canada is doing great compared to other countries. The numbers prove we have a solid plan. I'm going to stick to it no matter what they say.”
