“Canada's economy is doing well. We have the best debt-to-GDP ratio and fiscal position in the G7, the second-fastest growing economy, and wages are growing faster than inflation.”

“Mr. Speaker, despite that leader and his party’s best effort to paint the wrong narrative, the facts are very clear: best net debt-to-GDP in the G7, strongest fiscal position in the G7, second-fastest growing economy in the G7. Wages are outpacing inflation. Despite the rhetoric on that side, Canadians know our economy is growing. We are going to build— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!”

“I want the Conservatives to say which government programs they want to cut. They call this spending inflationary, but they will not say if they mean pensions, child benefits, or school food programs.”

The possibilities are old age security, the Canada child benefit, the school food program, support to our workers, building the country, building major projects and building it strong. Which of these things are inflationary spending in the eyes of the Conservative Party?”
