“Canada is in a recession. The economy is weak, and prices are rising. Will the Prime Minister change the policies that caused this?”

“Mr. Speaker, we just heard the bad news that Canada is the only country with two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth. That is the definition of a recession. Again today, we had bad news from the Governor of the Bank of Canada, who said that “the Canadian economy has remained soft and inflation has increased”. He went on to say, “Economic weakness combined with rising inflation is a dilemma” and that the economy was “weak”, a word he used nine times. Will the Prime Minister reverse the Liberal policies that caused this recession?”

“Canada is in a recession, and prices are still rising. This is costing people their jobs and homes. I want the Prime Minister to reverse the policies that caused this.”

“Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Prime Minister. Just over 10 days ago, we learned that Canada was the only country with back-to-back shrinking economies in two quarters, the definition of a recession. Today we got even worse news from the Governor of the Bank of Canada, who said: the Canadian economy has remained soft and inflation has increased.... Economic weakness combined with rising inflation is a dilemma He used the word “weak” nine times to describe the Prime Minister’s economy. That translates into lost jobs, lost homes and bigger lineups at food banks. Will the Prime Minister stand today and reverse the Liberal policies that caused this recession?”

“Canada's economy is shrinking while other major countries are growing. People are losing their homes because of this weak economy. I want the Prime Minister to change the government policies that caused this.”

“Mr. Speaker, these are more illusions from the other side of the House of Commons. Canada is the only economy in the G7 that has shrunk over the last two quarters and over three out of the last four quarters, the only economy smaller today than a year ago. Today the Governor of the Bank of Canada described the Prime Minister’s economy as “weak” nine times. That translates into seniors who are forced to lose their home and live in a parking lot, according to a story by CTV. Will the Prime Minister stand up now and announce that he will reverse the Liberal policies that caused the mess?”

“Canada is the only major country in the G20 that is in a recession, and many people cannot pay their bills. I want the Prime Minister to take responsibility and answer for it.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is hiding in the clouds and refusing to answer questions about the recession that he created here in Canada. The only thing he has been building is the sole recession in all the G20. There are 20 industrialized nations in that group; 19 of them are not in recession, and one of them is in recession. That translates into stories from the United Way, where 40% of Canadians are losing sleep because they worry they cannot pay their bills, and 60% have anxiety over their financial situation. Will the Prime Minister finally take responsibility and answer to them?”
