Well, Mr. Speaker, there is no way of sugar-coating this. This budget also failed to deliver an economic growth plan. There was no plan to reopen the economy or create jobs, or a more competitive business environment.
Here is what Robert Asselin, one of the Prime Minister's top policy advisors, had to say about the budget. He said, “this budget [is]...doubling down on programs that do not address our innovation shortcomings and have yielded few results to date.” He also said, “it is hard to find a coherent growth plan.” It is hard to find a coherent growth plan. This is coming from one of the Prime Minister's Liberal advisors.
Why has the Prime Minister failed Canadians so badly?
