Mr. Speaker, all G7 countries are facing the same challenges, yet Canada has the second-highest unemployment rate among them.
While Canadians are tightening their belts in the midst of a recession, the Liberals' wasteful spending is out of control. Just look at Cúram. The budgeted amount was $1.75 billion but the actual cost is $6.6 billion, which is a deficit of $5 billion. What about the plot of land that was rented for $13,500 a year, for which the Liberal government is paying $20 million a year?
Why is the Prime Minister asking Canadians to make sacrifices while the government is spending money like there is no tomorrow?
