Oral Questions
The Economy
A debate on the economy where Conservatives point out food insecurity, recession, and other economic issues facing Canadians, while the Liberals defend their policies and blame the Conservatives for past inaction. The Liberals tout their actions like cutting taxes, providing rebates, and securing trade deals, while the Conservatives argue these measures are insufficient and the Liberals are out of touch with the struggles of ordinary Canadians.
“We're already helping with affordability. Conservatives just hate it when seniors smile.”
“Our government has done a good job on the economy. Our programs will save families a lot of money. We are the best choice to help Canadians.”
“We know people are struggling. That's why we made a new program to spend more of your money.”
“Things are hard. We're giving out some money. Everything else is someone else's fault. Trust us.”
“Why do you vote against our plans to spend money on auto companies and other things? I like our plan to spend money to create jobs. You should vote for our plan.”
“I'm just going to make sympathetic noises and hope that counts as an answer.”
“I'm filling time by blaming Conservatives. Conservatives are bad. Remember how bad they were? People of Saskatchewan, don't vote for them.”
“We won't listen to Conservatives about farmers. They didn't help Saskatchewan canola farmers at all. But our Prime Minister went out and promoted Canadian canola! He did something, so there.”
“Our government wants Canadians to believe we're responsible for all the good things that happen to farmers. And that other party never helps farmers at all.”
“I'm glad I'm on the government side. The other party should support our government's plan and stop voting against our popular spending programs.”
