Jackson presses the government on living costs: taking taxes off diesel to help farmers and food prices, boosting domestic food production in Canada, reversing the CRTC’s streaming tax, and restoring the rule requiring employers to try hiring Canadians before temporary foreign workers. He also pushes for major projects in Manitoba, pressing for a “yes or no” on plans for the Port of Churchill. In debate he demands direct answers, asking whether the Prime Minister or the Parliamentary Budget Officer is “misinformed”, and cites constituents by name, like a farmer named Brian, to make his case.Written by AI from their statements.

Finance

“The government is spending too much money. Canada will spend $60 billion this year just on interest for its debt instead of on health care or housing. I want the government to explain why it cannot spend less.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister unveiled another Liberal credit card budget, the 11th in a row, and doubled the last Trudeau deficit. This year, Canadians will spend $60 billion just to pay the interest on the debt that Canada already owes, and that number is only going up. That is $60 billion that is not going into health care, critical infrastructure, national defence or affordability measures to help Canadians put food on the table or a roof over their head. I have a simple question. What happened to last year’s Liberal slogan to spend less, invest more? Was that just a tagline to win an election? Are these guys actually incapable of reducing government spending?
