Mr. Speaker, Canadians needed an affordable budget for an affordable life. They can no longer pay their bills or buy groceries, yet the Prime Minister's latest budget has saddled them with more inflation.
According to the Parliamentary Budget Officer, this is the largest deficit in the country's history other than during the pandemic. It is twice as big as Justin Trudeau's deficit. It is $16 billion more than the Prime Minister promised during the election. He broke his promise to reduce the debt-to-GDP ratio. The deficit is $78 billion, which is $5,000, plus inflation, for every single family.
How are families supposed to pay another $5,000 for a costly budget?
