Mr. Speaker, the hidden cost is exactly what the Conservatives are hiding from Canadians. What are they going to cut to pay for their irresponsible suggestions? They are going to cut child care. They are going to cut dental care. They are not going to do a tax cut for 22 million Canadians. They are certainly not going to do a groceries and essentials benefit. How do we know that? They voted against every single affordability proposal the government has put on the table for them to vote for. They can question the economic acumen of a world-renowned economist if they like, but Canadians can see right through this bluster.
In the House of Commons on April 16th, 2026. See this statement in context.
