Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, he is talking about fiscal restraint when the Liberals just doubled Canada's deficit. The currentis an illusion. Contrary to what my colleague is saying, Canada is currently shedding jobs by the tens of thousands every month. Quebec alone lost 43,000 jobs in April, bringing the total job losses in 2026 in Quebec to 91,000. That is the fault of Liberal management. How
Mr. Speaker, here is the definition of this costly Liberal Prime Minister: more agencies, more taxes, more spending, more credit card spending, more interest payments on the credit card and more job losses. It is always the same old story. The proof is that, after 11 years of Liberal government, all that the government is doing right now is losing jobs. When will the Prime Minister realize that
Madam Speaker, how can a G7 country brag when families are cutting back on groceries and skipping meals just to make ends meet? The Dalhousie University report states in no uncertain terms that Canadians are buying what they can afford, not what they need to eat. It is always the same old story with the Liberals, the same old tune on repeat. They pull out the credit card and spend without a
Mr. Speaker, today marks 12 years since I have had the privilege of becoming the member of Parliament for my constituency, now known as Côte-du-Sud—Rivière-du-Loup—Kataskomiq—Témiscouata.

Everything the Liberals are doing is going on the credit card. The reality on the ground is clear. Groceries are getting more and more expensive, household debt is rising and food banks across the country are overwhelmed. How can the Liberal government
Prime Minister Minister of Industry Mr. Speaker, after 10 years of Liberal governments, it is the same old story: more spending, more debt, higher taxes and a spike in the cost of living. This economic update proves that nothing has changed. The current Liberalis continuing his predecessor's policies and out-of-control deficits. He has even doubled the deficit, contrary to what thejust told us.
Mr. Speaker, that is what Trudeau was saying 10 years ago. My colleague's comments make it clear that the Liberals are completely out of touch with Canadians' reality. Families are cutting back on groceries, young people are giving up on the idea of buying their first home and seniors are continuing to work after retirement to be able to survive. Meanwhile, this government continues to spend
