Madam Speaker, it is Friday and the Prime Minister is still not worth the cost. We know that, this summer, Canada's economy actually shrank while the American economy grew by nearly 5%, all because of higher government spending, which leads to higher interest rates and higher inflation. Canadians are getting poorer and no amount of rattling off statistics is going to change that fact. When will the government finally commit to balancing the budget and axing the tax so that Canadians can afford to eat, heat and house themselves?

Madam Speaker, they can talk all they want but the plan is not working. We have never spent so much in this country to achieve so little. Government spending went up by more than 7% and the economy still shrank by 1.1%. We have the lowest GDP per capita growth today and for the next 40 years of any advanced economy, according to their own budget. Canadians get higher taxes, higher spending and more regulation. They are getting poorer. Why do they think that plan is working for Canadians?
