“Canada is the only G7 country in a recession, and we have lost over 112,000 jobs this year. The Prime Minister misled Canadians about our economy. Why did he lead us into this recession?”

“Mr. Speaker, Canada is the only G7 country that is in a recession. However, just a few days ago, the Prime Minister was bragging that Canada is the second-strongest economy in the G7. It is clear that he misled Canadians. Meanwhile, 112,300 jobs have been lost since the beginning of the year. Canada now has the second-highest unemployment rate in the G7. Other countries are facing the same tariffs and the same international crises. Why is the Prime Minister the only G7 leader to have led his country into a Liberal recession?”

“Canada is in a recession, the Prime Minister has not fixed our problems with Donald Trump, and Quebec has lost 87,000 jobs this year. I want an emergency debate to hear the government's plan to fix this.”

“Mr. Speaker, the minister is right: The Liberals received a mandate, but they are not fulfilling their mandate. The proof is that we are currently in a recession. Furthermore, the Prime Minister swore he was the only one capable of resolving the problem with Donald Trump. A year and a half later, absolutely nothing has been resolved. Meanwhile, 87,000 jobs were lost in Quebec during the first four months of 2026. Nearly half of those were lost in the construction and manufacturing sectors. The Conservatives are requesting an emergency debate because we want to know what the plan is. Instead of listening to all sorts of nonsense, can we have an emergency debate to find out what the government’s plan really is and see if we can help?”

“Canada is the only G7 country in a recession. We have the worst food inflation and the second-highest unemployment in the G7. Why is our economy doing worse than other major countries under this Prime Minister?”

“Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, the sad reality for Canadians is that Canada is in a recession. Canada is the only G7 country in a recession. Canada has the worst food inflation in the G7 and the second-highest unemployment rate in the G7. That is the reality. That is the result of Canada’s Liberal Prime Minister, who was supposed to be an economic magician. In the end, it is not working. Why is the Liberal Prime Minister’s Canada in a recession when the other G7 countries are not?”

“The Liberal government is hurting our economy. One in three families cannot pay their mortgage, millions need food banks, and Canada has lost 112,000 jobs. Why are we the only G7 country in a recession?”

“Mr. Speaker, that is all well and good, but the problem is that it is not working. One in three families is struggling to pay their mortgage every month. That is what the Liberal government has done to Canadians. Some 2.2 million Canadians are going to food banks every month. That is the way things are under the Liberal government and the economist turned Prime Minister. Some 112,000 jobs have been lost. Every country in the world is facing economic crises and threats from Mr. Trump, so why is Canada the only G7 country in a recession?”

“Canada is the only G7 country in a recession, and families are going hungry. If this problem is worldwide, why is it only happening to Canada?”

“Mr. Speaker, Canada is the only G7 country in a recession. The Liberal recession is not just a graph. It is parents standing silently in front of an empty fridge when the children ask what is for dinner. It is watching children go to school on an empty stomach when our food banks can no longer provide. If the crisis is global, as the Liberal government claims, why are our communities the only ones suffering, unlike all the other ones in the G7?”
