Mr. Speaker, it sounds like we have a new buzzword from across the aisle.
In December, while the Prime Minister was busy protecting his own job and insisting that this was just a “technical recession”, the people of B.C. were suffering. Bankruptcies jumped 42% from the previous December, home sales plunged 58%, and the 68,000 full-time jobs lost last month could be only the tip of the iceberg.
Could the Prime Minister tell workers laid off in B.C., did he not understand the depth of the problem or did he just not care?
