Mr. Speaker, a ship without power or anchor will inevitably hit the rocks. Since the Liberals took over, Canada's GDP growth is the worst in the G7, clearly without power. The independent Parliamentary Budget Officer stated, “I don't know if the government currently has fiscal anchors”. Without power or anchor, the Prime Minister has Canada's fiscal future headed for the rocks.
The PBO also stated that “the labour market sucks” and “wages are not going up”. He said, “At this point, it's impossible for us, and for you as parliamentarians, to assess the likelihood or probability of the government hitting any fiscal target.”
Since the Prime Minister took office, federal spending has gone up 8.4%. He boosted consultants by 37% and boosted spending on bureaucrats by 6%. Justin Trudeau left a deficit of $42 billion. This PM's platform raised that to $62 billion. Some estimate it could cost double. It is time to ship around—
