“The cost of living and unemployment are too high, and the government is spending too much money. I want the government to lower its deficit, cut taxes on work and homebuilding, and stop charging federal taxes on fuel for the rest of the year.”
  • A repeated line

    “After 11 years of the Liberal government.”

Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, after 11 years of the Liberal government, Canadians are facing the worst food price inflation, the least affordable housing and the second-highest unemployment in the G7. Two million Canadians line up at the food bank each month, and Canada’s happiness ranking has dropped from fifth in the world to 25th. Now the Prime Minister wants to put another $25 billion on the national credit card for a Liberal slush fund that would enrich Liberal insiders at the expense of Canadians. Conservatives know that Canada should be the richest and most affordable country on earth. We know that housing should be dirt cheap. We know that Liberal deficits drive up inflation and leave Canadian families to pay the bill. That is why we are calling on the Liberal government to cut the deficit, cut taxes on the work, cut taxes on homebuilding and get rid of all federal taxes on gas and diesel for the rest of the year.
