“The Prime Minister's spending, debt, and taxes are hurting Canada's economy. I want him to stop borrowing and spending money so life is affordable for Canadians.”

“Mr. Speaker, after one year, Canadians see that all the promises are broken and all the fancy speeches were just an illusion. With the Prime Minister, it is more costs, more taxes, more debt and more unemployment. The Prime Minister is just another Liberal. After a decade of deficits, taxes and debt, Canada has the lowest investment per worker, the second-lowest productivity and second-highest unemployment in the G7. The Liberals will add $1 trillion of debt by the turn of this decade, but Canadians will pay this credit card through more inflation and more taxes. Why will the Liberal Prime Minister not stop swiping the national credit card so Canadians can afford to live?”

“Liberal government debt is hurting the economy. Many Canadians are losing jobs and using food banks. Young people cannot afford rent, groceries, or homes, and youth unemployment is high. The government must stop spending so much money so life becomes affordable again.”

“Mr. Speaker, the member should tell that to the 2.2 million Canadians at the food bank. The Liberals’ $1 trillion of new debt means less growth and fewer jobs. In April, Canada lost 18,000 jobs. The unemployment rate is up. In the first four months of this year, Canada lost 111,000 full-time jobs. Youth unemployment is at 14.3%. Young Canadians already cannot afford rent, groceries or homes. Now they cannot even find a job. Liberal insiders are getting rich while Canadians are getting poor. Will the Liberal government stop maxing out the national credit card so Canadians can afford the basic necessities of life?”

“Canada's unemployment rate is higher than other major countries. We lost 47,000 jobs in April. The government doubled our national debt, and I want to know why the results are so bad.”

“Mr. Speaker, the unemployment rate in Japan is 2.4%. In Germany, it is 3.7%. In the United States, it is 4.2%. In the United Kingdom, it is 4.7%. After the Liberals have been running our economy, Canada is at 6.9%. We shed 47,000 jobs in April alone. That is 47,000 families that now have to figure out how they are going to pay their rent or their mortgage and put food on the table. After doubling the national debt and spending so much money, how have the results for Canadians been so terrible?”

“The Liberals did not lower the deficit. They increased it from $30 billion to $65 billion. Canada now has the highest unemployment rate in the G7. The government must apologize to the 112,000 families who lost their jobs and now need food banks.”

“Mr. Speaker, I almost do not even know where to start with that statement. The member said the Liberals reduced the deficit by $11 billion. That is not true. Under Justin Trudeau, the deficit was $30 billion. It is now $65 billion. That is not less, it is more. If they do not know that is more and not less, maybe that is why we have such a problem. When they say they are going to do things, they do not seem to understand that if they write something down, it does not mean it actually happens. That is why we have the highest unemployment rate in the G7. Will the Liberals at least apologize to the 112,000 Canadian families that lost their jobs and are now going to food banks?”
