“I want the Prime Minister to stop spending so much of taxpayers' money. It's harder than ever for young people to get ahead. The government shouldn't make that worse by wasting our children's future on overpriced leases.”

Oral Questions
The Economy
The economy came up in the House. The Conservatives asked about job losses and the Liberals responded by talking about funding for job training and large government-supported projects.
“I'm going to talk about how much money we're spending instead of answering the question about wasteful spending. Look at all the money we're pouring into job training and a big mine project! We believe in young people and the future!”
“Look at me challenge the Prime Minister! The economy's in shambles and young people are doomed. Justify those job losses. The Liberals keep racking up debt. Our young people are going to pay. Stop spending so much! Give the next generation a chance.”
“Nice try, but we know how to create jobs. We invested in Airbus and that created new jobs in my region. We also invested in Kruger and that's going to create jobs too. Look at all the jobs we're creating!”
“The government invested in a big mining project in Quebec. It will be the largest in North America and the G7. How is this helping make our economy stronger and less dependent on other countries?”
“Thank you for the softball question. This mining project is big. It will make lots of graphite. More graphite for us and our allies. It will create some jobs. This project is good because it makes us more sovereign.”
