Mr. Speaker, we lost 46,000 jobs in December alone. Young Canadians have lost 264,000 jobs since before the downturn.
When it comes to prosperity, Canadian households are struggling under record levels of personal debt.
The Minister of Finance has added $158 billion to the federal debt. That means that the average Canadian family will have to pay over $18,000 more in future taxes just to pay for the Conservative debt.
How can the Conservatives boast, when 2013 saw no jobs, no growth, and more debt than prosperity?
