Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Deputy Prime Minister said she wanted to “help Canadians get past that vibecession”.
I am not exactly sure what that means, but I do know that the Deputy Prime Minister has unleashed nine years of economic vandalism on Canadians. Canadians are poorer now than they were nine years ago. She might think that this is just bad vibes, but it is a fact from Statistics Canada. Half a trillion dollars have left Canada for the United States and have taken thousands of jobs with them. Does she think that those are just bad vibes? Does the Deputy Prime Minister think that, if Canadians are lined up at the food bank or cannot afford rent or their mortgage, it is their fault for having bad vibes?
Taxes are up, costs are up, the deficit is up and time is up. Canadians are desperate for change. They are ready for a common-sense Conservative government that would axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime. I will leave the Deputy Prime Minister alone if she wants to talk about vibecessions.
