“Canada is the only G20 country in a recession. I blame Liberal government spending and bad rules for this, and for making life too expensive for Canadians.”

“Mr. Speaker, of all the countries in the G20, Canada is the only one in a recession, and it is no mystery why. The Liberals’ inflationary spending, red tape and antidevelopment policies created this recession and cost of living crisis. It is not global forces; it is Liberal choices. Why can the Prime Minister not understand that Canadians cannot afford to make ends meet, that his costly policies are driving the G20’s only recession and that his policies are failing Canadians?”

“Liberal policies like the carbon tax and pipeline bans cost thousands of oil jobs in Saskatchewan. I want the member to tell the Prime Minister to end these policies so life is affordable again.”

“Mr. Speaker, as usual, the Liberal member from Saskatchewan does not know what he is talking about. I have been here for a lot less than 10 years, and before I was elected, a Liberal MP represented my riding. During that time, the Liberals gave us the carbon tax, the “no more pipelines” bill and the west coast tanker ban, which led to thousands of job losses in the Saskatchewan oil patch. On the rare occasion when this member does attend a cabinet meeting, will he tell the Prime Minister to reverse his costly policies so that Canadians can afford to live again?”

“The Prime Minister's wasteful spending and costly policies caused a recession. People cannot afford food or housing. I want the Prime Minister to reverse these policies.”

“Mr. Speaker, Canada is the only G20 country with a prime minister to take the nation into recession. Full-time workers are living in RVs and trailers because they cannot afford homes. Families are spending more on food and rent than they are earning. People are making impossible choices just to survive. At the same time, every single day we learn about another instance of wasteful spending by the Prime Minister that exceeds even Justin Trudeau’s record. Will the Prime Minister finally reverse the costly Liberal policies that caused the recession?”

“The Prime Minister caused a recession, and taxes are too high for normal families. I want the government to admit its high spending is hurting Canadians.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberal Prime Minister is the only G20 leader to take his nation into recession, and Canadians are paying the price. The average family now works 160 days a year just to pay taxes. It means people will work until this week just to pay the government before they can actually start earning for themselves. At a time when families are struggling, the Liberals keep spending, borrowing and wasting more taxpayer dollars. Why do the Liberals refuse to admit that their costly policies have driven Canada into recession and are failing Canadians?”

“Many Canadians cannot afford food while the Prime Minister spends a lot of money on expensive flights. Millions of Canadians had to use food banks last year. I want the Prime Minister to change his policies so people can afford to eat.”

“Mr. Speaker, while the high-flying Prime Minister is racking up a $1-million debt for luxury inflight catering, many Canadians are struggling just to put food on the table. There were 2.2 million Canadians who went to a food bank in one month last year alone, but the Prime Minister is living the high life, even though he is leading the only G20 country into a recession. Will the Prime Minister reverse his failed policies that are causing this food affordability crisis so that Canadians can afford to live again?”
