Mr. Speaker, the Liberals' costly budget demonstrates once again that the Prime Minister's rhetoric does not match reality. The Prime Minister promised to spend less. It turns out that he is spending more, way more than Justin Trudeau. In only one year, the Prime Minister has managed to double Trudeau's deficit, and now the Liberals are on track to rack up a record $1 trillion of new debt.
It begs the question. For all of the spending and all of the debt, what do the Liberals have to show for it? The answer is record food inflation, record housing costs, terrible productivity and the second-highest unemployment rate in the G7. Despite the Prime Minister's rhetoric, he is more of the same. He is just another costly Liberal.
