Anna Roberts, King—Vaughan

Conservative
“Seniors who worked hard cannot afford to live because the government wastes billions of dollars. The government should adopt the Conservative plan. It cuts over $150 billion in government spending to lower debt, taxes, and prices.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, Mario from Vaughan reached out to me about his 92-year-old father. After a lifetime of working hard, paying taxes and saving for retirement, his father is now watching every dollar just to make ends meet. His father did everything right. He worked hard to help build this country, and now in his retirement, he feels punished for it. While seniors count every dollar, the Liberal government continues to spend billions on bureaucracies, consultants, foreign aid and corporate welfare. Canadians are out of money while the Liberal government is out of touch. Our Conservative plan is to save Canadians money. We have identified over $150 billion in savings, nearly $10,000 per family, to lower debt, taxes and inflation. Mario and his father did their part. It is time the Liberals did the same by adopting the Conservative economic action plan.
