He often leaps from a few examples or figures to a sweeping verdict, arguing “It is a direct result of the current Liberal government’s policy.” He backs his points with dollar figures and job numbers.Written by AI from their statements.

Youth

“Government spending has hurt young Canadians. Over 14% of youth are unemployed, which is double the national rate. Young people cannot find jobs and cannot afford rent, groceries, or homes. Why is the Prime Minister making youth pay for his failures?”

  • A repeated line

    “Unfortunately, it is just more taxes, more job losses and more of the same.”

    Said 3 times by 2 members since May 8.

    Every time it was said
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, after over a decade of reckless Liberal inflationary spending, young Canadians are falling further behind than ever before. Last month, Canada lost 47,000 full-time jobs, and youth unemployment is up over 14%. That is more than double the national rate. Young Canadians are now more unemployed than at any point in recorded Canadian history. Young people cannot afford rent, they cannot afford groceries and they certainly cannot afford a home. They are sending out hundreds of résumés with no response. Under these Liberals, it is more taxes, more job losses and more of the same. Why is this Liberal Prime Minister making young Canadians sacrifice for his failures?

Spring Economic Update 2026 Implementation Act

“Crime is too high, and the government is misleading people about hiring more police. It promised 1,000 new officers, but only 750 are frontline police. It is also hiring fewer civilian workers than it pushed into early retirement. Why is the government failing to protect our streets?”

Mr. Speaker, I think my colleague will agree that the crime rates in this country are far too high, and that is why I think Canadians were very hopeful when the government announced that it would be hiring 1,000 new RCMP officers. However, we have recently learned that of the 1,000 RCMP officers the government claimed it was hiring, only 750 of them are actually going to be frontline officers; 250 of them are going to be civilian support employees. It gets better. The government, under its early retirement incentive, laid off over 300 civilian employees from the RCMP. The government says it is hiring 250 more employees, but it has let go 300 employees and is bringing in only 750 frontline officers. This is an investment illusion under the government. Why is it failing to protect our streets, by underinvesting in police?

“The government gave over $50 million of public money to a nuclear company that went broke. Is the member proud of that wasted money?”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I know the member across said that he is very proud of the government’s investments. I wonder if he would tell this House if he is proud of the government’s $50-million investment in the molten salt nuclear reactor scam in his very own province by Moltex. The company has now gone into insolvency. It is being sold off for $11 million; 55 million taxpayer dollars down the drain. Is that member proud of that investment?

“The government is terrible at investing public money. It put $55 million into a nuclear energy company that just failed and sold for only $11 million. Taxpayers rarely get their money back from these projects.”
Official Hansard

Madam Speaker, the Liberal government, for 11 years, has been the worst investor of any government in Canadian history. There is a litany of projects, but I just want to talk about one today. Moltex Energy Canada was purporting to make molten-salt nuclear reactors in New Brunswick. The Liberal government poured $55 million, taxpayer dollars, into this boondoggle. It just went into insolvency and has been sold off for $11 million. Can the member for Calgary Crowfoot talk about the government’s poor record of investment? It loves spending taxpayer dollars on its schemes, but taxpayers rarely ever get their money back.

“The government is careless when it spends taxpayers' money. It spent $200 million on a spaceport in Nova Scotia. I want to know if the government is borrowing money to pay for projects like that.”

Madam Speaker, Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman said there are four ways to spend money, and the worst way is spending somebody else’s money on others because it is the least efficient and one is least careful with it. We have seen the Liberal government put $200 million into a concrete slab spaceport in Nova Scotia. When we are talking about a sovereign debt fund of $25 billion, that is the government spending taxpayers’ money. I want to ask the parliamentary secretary if he is borrowing money right now to invest in things like spaceports.
