Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister told a room full of students that they are going to have to make sacrifices. This is the kind of silver spoon attitude young people are sick of.
The only reason this country is in this mess is because the Liberal government shut down our industries and spent more than it could afford. It robbed us. It spent all its money and then borrowed billions of dollars, expecting my generation to pay for it. The Liberals’ overspending has driven inflation to the point where we cannot afford the same quality of life our parents had. We cannot afford a home. We cannot afford an education.
We cannot even afford groceries, which are up 4%. In a CBC article in Newfoundland this morning a MUN student said that he used to spend $400 per month for groceries and now has to pay $700.
Young people are saying they have to sacrifice having children because of the Liberal government's overspending.
Why does my generation have to make sacrifices so Liberal governments can continue to release deficit budgets with massive overspending, leaving my generation with the bill?
