Leslyn Lewis

Conservative
“The economy is getting weaker, prices are going up, and the Liberals are adding to the debt. Their deficit is 38 billion dollars higher than they promised. I want the government to admit that Canadians are facing an affordability crisis.”
Official Hansard

Madam Speaker, the Parliamentary Budget Officer confirmed what Canadians are feeling every day. The economy is weakening, inflation is on the rise and Liberal spending is driving up the debt. The Liberals’ projected deficit is now $38 billion higher than promised. After years of broken promises, why are the Liberals forcing Canadians to pay the price for their reckless spending with an affordability crisis? Just this week, they voted against recognizing the affordability crisis. When will the Liberals finally admit that one exists?
