Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today on behalf of the incredible people of southwest Saskatchewan, many of whom are continually asking for a plan to safely reopen the economy, get Canadians back to work and secure our future.
I was disappointed that budget 2021 included none of the above. Instead, it is proposing a reimagined Canadian economy that dabbles in risky economic ideas such as abandoning Canada's world-leading, sustainable natural resource industries, leaving our economy in a precarious position and alienating western Canadians even more.
Canada is now sitting at over $1 trillion in federal debt, meaning the average Canadian family owes over $77,000 in federal debt. While the forecast looks grim, I want to assure my constituents that they can be confident with our Conservative recovery plan. We will bolster manufacturing at home, support the resource sector, get Canadians back to work and secure the future for them and their children without this Prime Minister's great reset.
