“The Liberals are spending too much money. By 2030, they will have added $1 trillion to the national debt. Interest on that debt will cost $3,400 for every Canadian family this year. A Conservative government would stop this spending.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, Liberals like to claim they are efficient stewards of public funds. However, by 2030, they will have added $1 trillion to the national debt since taking office. Their reckless spending means taxpayers will pay $59 billion servicing that debt this year alone. That is $3,400 for every single Canadian family. This is not sustainable, and it is not something a government that cares about our finances or our future would do. In fact, their so-called savings plan is so low on the priority list that it was barely mentioned in the costly Liberal budget. With this Prime Minister, it is more cost, more debt and more of the same. Seniors who built this nation deserve better. Families just trying to survive deserve better. The future of our nation, our youth, deserves better. Under a Conservative government, Canada can and will get back on the path of prosperity.
