MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT

Bernard Généreux

Follow by RSS

Généreux pushes back on the government’s spending and the cost of living, arguing that deficit and tax increases land on ordinary families — most recently the CRTC’s streaming tax, which he says will hit consumers in his riding. He argues through concrete, everyday scenes and hard questions: parents “standing silently in front of an empty fridge,” and “who is going to pay the 15%?”Written by AI from their statements.

Seniors

“Twice as many seniors cannot afford to retire because the cost of living keeps rising, while the government keeps spending money. What will the Prime Minister do to help seniors?”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, after a lifetime of working, twice as many seniors can no longer afford to retire and have to keep working past age 65 just to make ends meet. That is alarming. The price of everything, including groceries, rent and gas, is going up. Many people now have to count every penny, even after a lifetime of work, and have to find a second career. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister continues to rack up charges on the nation’s limitless credit card. My question is simple. What does the Prime Minister intend to do to truly help our seniors?

Finance

“The government is spending too much money and adding to the debt. Interest on this debt costs every family over $3,300 a year. I want the government to cut its spending.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, it seems that many people do not realize that it is easy to announce one program after another, but, at the end of the day, it all goes on the government’s credit card, with no real limit. However, there is, in fact, a limit. An unpaid credit card balance at the end of the month means interest charges. It always means more spending and more deficits. The interest charges amount to over $3,300 a year for every family. When will the Liberals finally get their spending under control and cut it back so that Canadians can make ends meet?
