“The Liberal government has failed over the past year. They failed on trade with the United States, housing costs, government spending, and immigration. Their failures are hurting regular Canadians.”
  • A repeated line

    “If Canada wants a deal with the United States.”

Mr. Speaker, it is one year into the Liberal government’s mandate. That means it is report card time. Let us have a look at how the Liberals are doing: negotiating a trade deal with the United States, fail; making housing more affordable, fail; addressing the rising cost of living, fail; lowering government spending, fail; getting immigration under control, fail. Across the board, the Liberal government has earned a failing grade, but it is not the Liberals being held back, it is Canadians. The young couple who cannot afford a first home, the auto worker whose shift got cut, the small business owner who woke up to a 25% tariff and the farmer with nowhere to sell are all being held back. The Prime Minister wants to talk about forward guidance. How about he starts by looking back at 365 days of failure and the impact that has had on Canadians?
