The Economy

During Question Period on the economy, a Conservative member said Canada is the only G20 country in a recession, citing a United Way survey finding that 60% of Canadians feel anxiety about their finances, and blamed government spending and restrictions on development, asking the Prime Minister to cancel those policies. A Liberal minister responded that the government has a plan to create jobs, pointed to 14,000 new jobs in Alberta last month, and said it is working to recruit 100,000 more skilled trades workers.Written by AI from the debate.

“Canada is in a recession and most Canadians are stressed about money. Government spending and rules against development caused this. I want the Prime Minister to cancel these costly policies.”

  • A repeated line

Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, under the Liberal Prime Minister, Canada is the only G20 country in a recession. In Edmonton, families are feeling the effects of Liberal mismanagement. A recent United Way survey found that 60% of Canadians now feel anxiety about their personal finances. Global factors are not to blame. It is Liberal inflationary spending and antidevelopment laws that have staled our economy. Canadians deserve better. Will the Prime Minister reverse his costly policies causing this crisis so Canadians can afford to live again?
