“Canada is the only G7 country in a recession, but the Prime Minister spent $200,000 on luxury food on three airplane trips. I want him to stop this spending so Canadians can afford to eat.”

“Mr. Speaker, today we learned that the Liberal Prime Minister is the only leader in the G7 to take his country into a recession, but while Canadians live on leftovers, the Prime Minister is enjoying fine dining 30,000 feet in the sky. On the menu are the finest meats and wines, crème brûlée and even imported butter cups, for a whopping bill of $200,000 for just three trips. Will the Prime Minister cut the fat, stop his speeches and ground his gravy plane so Canadians can afford to eat?”

“Canada is in a recession and many people cannot afford groceries. At the same time, the Prime Minister spent $200,000 on fancy meals for himself. Taxpayers should not pay for his expensive lifestyle.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals’ message to Canadians is “Suck it up, buttercup”, because excuses on tariffs will not work anymore. Canada is the only country in the G7 to be in a recession. Food bank usage is at a record high. Families are cutting back on their groceries. They are cancelling their summer plans and skipping meals just to get by. What does the Prime Minister do? He blows $200,000 on fancy meals for himself. Does the Prime Minister not realize that this is Canada, not Brookfield, and that taxpayers are not his personal bankers?”

“Government spending has put Canada in a recession. Food and gas costs are up, and the debt is growing. When will the Prime Minister change his economic plan?”

“Mr. Speaker, Canadians have had it with the Prime Minister’s costly credit card budget. The deficit is $65.3 billion, and this year, Canadians will pay $58.7 billion on debt interest. Food inflation rose 3.8% in April, with gas prices surging 28.6% last month alone. Canada is the only G7 nation in a recession. The Prime Minister is more focused on his American stock portfolio and his friends at Brookfield than on Canadians. How many more negative quarters of growth will it take for him to change course?”

“The Prime Minister's spending is driving up costs and pushing investment out of Canada. Canada is now in a recession. I want to know when the Prime Minister will put Canadians first instead of his wealthy friends.”

“Mr. Speaker, the hypocrisy is palpable. Canadians were promised relief, but the Prime Minister’s costly credit card budget is driving up costs for Canadians while driving investment away. Twenty billion dollars’ worth of investment has left Canada in the last four quarters alone. Over $1 trillion has left since 2015. As a result, Canada is the only G7 nation in a recession. Instead of putting his friends at Alto and Brookfield first, the Prime Minister should put Canadians first so they can finally get ahead instead of constantly being left behind. How many more quarters of negative growth will it take for the Prime Minister to choose Canadians?”
