Harb Gill

Conservative
“Canada is the only major rich country facing a recession. The Prime Minister keeps changing his trade plans instead of doing real work.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, Canada is the only G7 nation facing a recession under this Liberal Prime Minister. After months of “elbows up” rhetoric, he went to New York this week and said he would be making America great again. If flip-flopping generated electricity, the Liberal Prime Minister could power the EV sector all by himself. As a former cop, I have seen plenty of U-turns, but I have never seen one presented as a trade strategy. Can the Prime Minister just make up his mind and get to work, or are Canadians expected to live with a government that is always a day late and several dollars short?
