Mr. Speaker, in a democracy, we elect leaders based on the promises they make and hold them accountable based on the promises they keep. The Prime Minister was elected on the promise to get the cost of living under control. Instead, prices at the grocery store keep going up. He was elected on a promise to “build, baby, build”, to double the pace of new home construction. Instead, CMHC says homebuilding will drop 13% over the next several years.
He was elected to get spending under control, to embark on a series of nation-building projects and to strike a trade deal with the United States. Six months later, there is not a single permit approved, not a single shovel in the ground, and Canada's spending and debt are higher than ever before. Not only is there no deal with the Americans, but the Prime Minister has removed Canadian countertariffs while getting nothing in return. It has been six months of broken promises.
Canadians want to know how much longer they have to wait before they start seeing results from the Prime Minister.
