“The Prime Minister needs to admit his policies caused this recession. Jobs, investments, and homes are being lost, and I want him to tell us how he will fix it.”

“Mr. Speaker, while Canadians suffer, the Prime Minister is silent. He sits back while 112,000 jobs have been lost in the first three months of this year alone. We have the second-highest unemployment and the only recession in the G20. We have an economy that has lost investment in five consecutive quarters, and $20 billion of net investment has fled the country. There is a 32% increase in mortgage delinquencies, and people who cannot make their monthly payments risk losing their homes. Will the Prime Minister stand up in the House of Commons and at least acknowledge that he created this recession so that he can tell us how he is going to reverse the policies so that we can get out of it?”

“The government is repeating slogans that are false instead of answering the question. Canada has the only recession in the G7, business investment fell for the fifth quarter in a row, and the deficit doubled.”

“Mr. Speaker, instead of standing and answering the question, the Liberal Prime Minister has his finance minister not just state slogan after slogan, but slogans that are exactly false. One of their slogans is: The fastest-growing economy in the G7. He has the only recession in the G7. The other slogan is: more investment. Statistics Canada says business capital investment fell 0.7% in the first quarter of 2026, the fifth consecutive quarterly decline. Then he says that government spending is down. He has doubled the deficit. Why is it whenever the Liberals say something is up, it is down?”
