Mr. Speaker, for years now, we have been hearing that investments will equal growth, but all we have is more debt and a slower economy.
Second, the government often loves to talk about net debt. The Liberals selectively use the term net debt versus growth debt measures, and they tend to ignore provincial and subnational debt. When we take those into consideration, as a lot of other countries do for health care and education expenditures, we learn that our debt is actually among the worst in the G7.
I will not support a budget that adds increasingly more burdens on Canadians and straps future generations with debt.
