Mr. Speaker, the government is so out of touch, it does not even understand that is only saving Canadians $4.51, because there is no GST on groceries, just pop and chips.
Here is another number: The unemployment rate is up to 6.4%. The Prime Minister has lost control. As the government is set to blow through the $40-billion deficit guardrail, it has its own MPs thinking about unemployment. The member from Saint John—Rothesay said that it is not an “unlimited pot” and, importantly, the Prime Minister and the finance minister are not even talking.
Before the Prime Minister loads his MPs on the unemployment bus, will he tell them about the $40-billion deficit guardrail or will he just drive them over the fiscal cliff?
