Every time it was said

  • Cheryl Gallant Conservative

    Canada has the highest grocery inflation in the G7, the worst household debt, the highest housing costs and the second-highest unemployment in the G7.

  • Costas Menegakis Conservative

    Canada now faces the worst grocery inflation, the worst household debt, the highest housing costs and the second-highest unemployment in the G7.

  • Michael Cooper Conservative

    The answer is record food inflation, record housing costs, terrible productivity and the second-highest unemployment rate in the G7.

  • Leslyn Lewis Conservative

    Canada has the second-highest unemployment rate in the G7, at 6.9%, and 112,000 Canadians lost work just in the first four months of this year.

  • Gérard Deltell Conservative

    Business capital investment has fallen for five consecutive quarters, and Canada has the second-highest unemployment rate in the G7.

  • Jacques Gourde Conservative

    A banker is supposed to be good with numbers, yet here is the Prime Minister's track record: every family will be spending an extra $1,000 on groceries in 2026, business capital investment has fallen for five consecutive quarters, and Canada has the second-highest unemployment rate in the G7.

  • Michael Cooper Conservative

    Unemployment is up, and Canada has the second-highest unemployment rate in the G7.

  • Rosemarie Falk Conservative

    maybe that member does not know, but Canada has the second-highest unemployment rate in the G7, and the labour force participation rate fell below 65% in September, the lowest level in almost 30 years outside of the pandemic.
