MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
Melillo consistently blames the Liberals for economic problems like high gas prices, debt, and the cost of living. He pushes for tax cuts and increased spending on projects in his own riding. While critical of the government, his own proposed solutions are often vague or purely self-interested.
Government Orders
“Housing prices have doubled. Inflation is high. The cost of living is going up. There is too much red tape. Liberals caused all those problems. Now their solution is more spending and red tape. That's exactly what they did before. It won't work.”
Government Orders
“You made a crime wave. Canadians want fixes. They want them now. We wrote a bill to lock up bad guys. You voted it down. But now you agree it's urgent. So stop talking and do something.”
Statements by Members
“The government should spend money to fix a highway in my region. I don't like that they haven't done it yet. It will make us safer and richer.”
Oral Questions
“The economy is bad. People are struggling. I want the Prime Minister to say if he thinks this recession is his fault.”
Government Orders
“I want the Green MP to explain herself. She already said the Liberals' plan to remove gas taxes was not enough savings. We want to remove even more gas taxes to help families. But she says she still won't vote for our plan. That doesn't make sense. I want her to say why.”
“The other party says it's not their fault gas costs more. But our gas is 13% more expensive than in the other country next to us. I think that's because this government taxes it too much.”
“The Liberals caused Canadian families' problems. Families need a break. Your little fixes won't help much. I want my big tax cut instead.”
Oral Questions
“The other party spends too much. The other party taxes too much. The other party borrows too much. I want the other party to stop.”
Government Orders
“That's bad. The other guy spent too much. We need to slow down and spend less. How can you think this is a good idea?”
