“Gas is much more expensive now, and Canadian families have the highest debt in the G7. The Prime Minister needs to stop making excuses and change the policies that are causing high prices.”

“Mr. Speaker, lots has changed since Harper’s time. Gas prices are more than 40¢ a litre higher, even though the world oil price is actually lower. Now the Prime Minister has made up a new excuse, that there are not enough refineries under his leadership. Maybe he should get out of the way and let refineries build in Canada. We have a Prime Minister who likes to blame the rest of the world. He has given Canadian households the worst debt anywhere in the G7, with delinquencies up 18% year over year. Will the Prime Minister stop making excuses and reverse the inflationary policies before Canadians lose their homes?”

“Rich people are doing well, but everyday Canadians are going broke. Bankruptcies and unpaid bills are way up. Why did 1.5 million Canadians miss an essential payment earlier this year?”

“Mr. Speaker, things are great for the Brookfield class, for those who stash their cash in offshore tax havens and take government handouts, getting rich, but for the rest of Canadians, here is what Equifax says: insolvency volumes have increased to levels not seen since 2009, up 19% year over year; balance delinquency rates climbed 32% year over year; and Q1 saw insolvency volumes hit 17-year highs, partly due to escalating financial strain on mortgage holders. If things are so good and affordable, why is it that 1.5 million Canadians missed at least one essential payment in the first three months of the year?”
