“Canada is the only country in the G7 in a recession, and we lost 112,000 jobs early this year. I want the Prime Minister to explain why our economy is doing worse than the rest of the G7.”

“Mr. Speaker, the grand illusionist, the Liberal Prime Minister, is the only leader in the entire G7 who has driven their economy into a recession. Liberals and their paid media want Canadians to believe this full-blown Liberal recession is just a technical one, but there is nothing technical about the single mom who is putting back groceries who just lost her job. In fact, the Prime Minister lost 112,000 jobs in the first three months of this year and gave Canada the second-worst unemployment in the entire G7. If this truly is about global problems, why is Canada the only country in the entire G7 in a recession?”

“The government has hurt our economy. Business investment is down, the economy is shrinking, and millions are using food banks. I want the Prime Minister to explain why Canada is in a recession.”

“Mr. Speaker, after 11 years of the incompetent Liberal government, there is nothing left to celebrate. The single mom who lost her job has nothing to celebrate. The 2.2 million Canadians going to a food bank have nothing to celebrate. In five straight quarters, business investment has declined. In three out of the last four quarters, the economy has shrunk. Twenty billion dollars of investment has fled to the U.S. because of the incompetent Prime Minister since he took power. Instead of trying to make America great again, why does he not tell us why Canada is the only G7 country in a recession today?”

“Canada is the only G7 country in a recession. The government has made life too expensive and cost people their jobs, especially in Newfoundland and Labrador. I want to know why other G7 countries are not in a recession if our problems are global.”

“Mr. Speaker, Canada is the only country in the G7 in a recession. In Newfoundland and Labrador, parents are watching their children pack their bags to leave the province because the Liberal government is driving up the cost of living, killing opportunities and local jobs. This is a full-blown Liberal recession. Statistics Canada has confirmed that in my province, one in 10 workers are unemployed. Nationally, insolvencies are at their highest level since 2009 and household debt is the worst in the G7. If Canada’s recession is just about global energy and tariffs, why is it that no other G7 countries are in a recession?”

“Canada's economy is shrinking, and unemployment and debt are rising. I want the Prime Minister to admit the economy is failing and fix it.”

“Mr. Speaker, the minister can quote all the empty good-news Liberal promises she wants, but the real data has already arrived in Newfoundland and Labrador. The facts are already in, and they prove that we have the worst economy in the G7. While other nations grow, our economy is shrinking, and our young people are paying the price. With one in 10 workers unemployed at home, skyrocketing consumer insolvencies across the country and increasing mortgage delinquencies, when will the Liberal Prime Minister stop quoting out-of-touch Liberal projections, face the facts of economic failure and fix the mess that he has created?”

“The Liberals claim our economy is growing fast, but it is shrinking while other G7 countries grow. Over 112,000 Canadians have lost full-time jobs this year. I want the government to explain why Canada is the only G7 country in a recession.”

“Mr. Speaker, for the last several months, the Liberals have repeatedly gaslit Canadians by repeating the PMO talking point that we have the fastest-growing economy in the G7, but the reality is we have the only shrinking economy in the G7. The Liberal Prime Minister was touted as some kind of an economic genius, but all he has delivered is a shrinking economy and 112,000 Canadians who have lost their full-time jobs this year. If this is truly about global events, as the Liberals keep saying, why is Canada the only G7 country that is now in a recession?”

“Canadians are suffering under this Liberal government. This year, 112,000 people lost their jobs, and one in four cannot afford enough food. Canada is the only G7 country in a recession, and I want the government to explain why.”

“Mr. Speaker, I can say this. No Conservative will ever apologize for getting up and fighting against this bad Liberal government. Let us talk about some numbers that the member says we are making up. According to Statistics Canada, 112,000 Canadians have lost their jobs this year. According to Food Banks Canada, 25% of Canadians are now food insecure. These are not fake numbers. The member should know that. These are real people who are suffering as a result of the Liberal government. If it is all about external events, as the Liberals keep saying, why is Canada the only G7 country in a recession? How about a real answer?”

“Canada is the only G7 country in a recession, and we lost over 112,000 jobs in three months. Investors and jobs are leaving. I want the Prime Minister to admit his policies caused this.”

“Mr. Speaker, Canada is the only G7 country in a recession. People vote with their feet when they have no other way to vote, and investors vote with their dollars every single day. Right now they are voting against Canada. More than 112,000 jobs have disappeared in just three months. Behind every one of those jobs is a Canadian wondering how to pay the rent, buy groceries and keep the lights on. If the Liberals insist this is all because of global conditions, why is Canada the only G7 country in a recession? When will the Prime Minister admit that his policies have driven investment and jobs elsewhere?”
