“A member had a health scare at a caucus meeting. I want the government to wish him well.”
Oral Questions
The Economy
“You're wrong about everything. Our leader is better than yours. Even a hair stylist I talked to is suffering. Why should we trust you?”
“Why can't the Prime Minister defend his economic record? Maybe it's because more people are going bankrupt under his leadership. Canada is the only G20 country in a recession. I think the Prime Minister's policies are causing these bankruptcies and he should reverse them.”
“The other guy is doing bad. Our economy is the worst. The government should stop causing this recession.”
“High-speed rail won't fix this. Canadians are going bankrupt. Stop spending so much and get out of their way.”
“You say you're helping electricians, but this train won't be built for 15 years. While electricians wait, Liberal insiders will get $2.3 million in bonuses. If it's ever built, it will cost families $8,000 each. Why do you tax workers to benefit Liberal elites?”
“You ignored my story about an electrician. I want to blame your policies for him moving in with his mother and for the recession. Will you reverse your policies or just smirk?”
“A man I talked to at an airport is sad. That makes me sad. The government should spend money to fix this.”
“I want to embarrass the Prime Minister by pointing out a recession happened while he was in charge.”
“Canada has the worst economy in the G7. Inflation is high. Businesses are failing. It's the Prime Minister's fault. He should stop whatever he's doing that's causing this.”
“The Prime Minister says I don't believe in Canada because I criticize him. I'm the real patriot fighting for people. He's the one hiding money and moving jobs out of Canada. I'll keep fighting for workers and consumers and our economy. His personal attacks won't stop me.”
“I'm hitting back at your praise for the economy. We're actually in a recession. There's been a net loss of jobs this year. Unemployment is higher than in the U.S. Fewer small businesses are starting and more are going bankrupt. I'm painting a negative picture to contrast with your positive one and demanding change.”
“Consumer bankruptcies are up 10%. I blame the Prime Minister's deficit and inflation for the recession. He should reverse his policies before more Canadians go bankrupt.”
Oral Questions
Rail Transportation
“They promised a train. The train has bureaucrats making big money. But no train. Now everyone has to pay thousands and farmers lose their land. I don't care if they voted for it. This train is a money hole.”
“The government is spending too much money on a train for city people. They didn't ask farmers. Farmers in Quebec lose land but get nothing out of it. Why should Quebec regions pay for this expensive toy?”
Oral Questions
The Economy
“Liberals, your talking points don't match reality. Investment is down. The deficit is up. Why are you always wrong?”
“You caused this recession. Take responsibility and fix it.”
Oral Questions
International Trade
“Trudeau won't condemn forced labor and slavery because it goes against corporate interests. He helps Liberal insiders and multinational corporations get rich while everyone else suffers. Will he reverse his policies that caused Canada's recession?”
“The Prime Minister should ban all products from Xinjiang. Forced labor imports reduce wages and take jobs from Canadians. The U.S. puts tariffs on forced labor goods. The Prime Minister isn't doing enough.”
