Mr. Speaker, I have some advice for the Liberal member. Maybe the Liberal government needs to get their hands out of the pockets of Canadians.
A report released last fall shows that gen Z Canadians have virtually no disposable income left, just $9 to $16 in spendable cash at the end of the month. Half say they will need to take on more work over the next year, 28% are borrowing from family and 12% are delaying paying their bills just to survive. For young Canadians, having long-term goals and aspirations has been replaced by being in survival mode.
The Prime Minister keeps telling young Canadians they need to make more sacrifices. What exactly does he want gen Z to give up next when there is nothing left to cut? Does he want them to give up their dreams, their futures and any remaining hope that this country still works for them?
