Government Priorities
In a debate on government priorities, the Conservative member criticized the Liberal government for wasteful spending and driving up inflation, making life unaffordable for Canadians. He noted the government spent $300 million on an unspecified item, without elaborating further. The discussion focused on the high cost of living rather than any specific government policies or plans to address it.
