Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister calls it just a little economic weakness, just a settling-in period. Well, I am a little more simple. I will just call it what it is, a recession.
Today the United Way quantified for us that feeling that things are just not very good right now. Nine in 10 Canadians are experiencing financial anxiety, and CTV reported that fully employed Canadians are sleeping in campers to survive. This is a made-in-Canada problem. Mexico is in the same trade war with no recession. Even Russia, which is in a full-scale war and economically sanctioned, has no recession.
What is the excuse today?
