Mr. Speaker, according to Statistics Canada data released just this morning, 200,000 jobs were lost in January and the unemployment rate is now 6.5%. Those are real numbers, not the numbers the minister has been playing on repeat all week.
People are struggling. The cost of living is soaring. People have less money in their pockets now, all because of the Liberal government's decisions.
Meanwhile, what have the Liberals been doing? Spending, spending, spending. That has a direct impact on inflation.
When will the government take care of what really matters: jobs and the cost of living that is affecting everyone?
