Lloyd apologized for the video, stating the comments were made in jest during a campus club event and that he regretted his choice of words.

Mr. Speaker, after over a decade of reckless Liberal inflationary spending, young Canadians are falling further behind than ever before. Last month, Canada lost 47,000 full-time jobs, and youth unemployment is up over 14%. That is more than double the national rate. Young Canadians are now more unemployed than at any point in recorded Canadian history. Young people cannot afford rent, they
Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, I thought that this Liberalwas supposed to be good with money, but they just lost $175 million in less than six months on a failing diamond mine that just sought creditor protection.

Moltex Energy Canada was purporting to make molten-salt nuclear reactors in New Brunswick. The Liberal government poured $55 million, taxpayer dollars, into this boondoggle. It just went into insolvency and

The company has now gone into insolvency. It is being sold off for $11 million; 55 million taxpayer dollars down the drain. Is
Madam Speaker, Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman said there are four ways to spend money, and the worst way is spending somebody else's money on others because it is the least efficient and one is least careful with it. We have seen the Liberal government put $200 million into a concrete slab spaceport in Nova Scotia. When we are talking about a sovereign debt fund of $25 billion,
