Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister promised Canadians the fastest-growing economy in the G7. Instead he delivered the only recession in the G7. He promised growth. Canada lost more than 112,000 jobs in just three months. He promised investment. Business investment has fallen for five consecutive quarters. He promised prosperity. Today, one in four Canadians faces food insecurity.
The recession is real. I hear it from families and seniors every day. It is real for families struggling to afford groceries. It is real for workers coming home from work and telling their kids they no longer have a job and that they are going to have to sell the house. It is real for Canadians watching their savings disappear while costs continue to rise.
The Leader of the Opposition has called upon the Prime Minister to hold an emergency debate to explain the plan to reverse the recession the Liberals have created, because Canadians deserve answers. Canadians deserve a plan, and Canadians deserve a government that will unleash Canada's economy once again.
