Mr. Speaker, Canada is now the only G7 country in a homegrown made-by-Liberal recession. This must be the new world order the Liberal Prime Minister keeps bragging about. There have been two back-to-back quarters of negative growth and three contractions in the last four quarters. Food bank use has exploded nationwide and has doubled in just seven years. One in 10 in the GTA now relies on food banks, with a record 4.1 million visits just last year, more than quadrupling since 2019, and lower-income families spend over 100% of their income on essentials.
If this recession is really caused by tariffs and global energy problems, then why is no other G7 country in a recession?
