00:00:00.000 After adding $100 billion of new debt before the first case of COVID,
00:00:04.160 half trillion dollars of debt before the Russian invasion of Ukraine,
00:00:07.860 doubling the debt, adding more debt than all other Prime Ministers combined,
00:00:11.540 now the Prime Minister's government is saying they're going to cut $9 billion
00:00:15.400 and even bring in my pay-as-you-go law to find savings for every new dollar I'm spending.
00:00:20.600 But wait, they now admit that deficits add fuel to the inflationary fire,
00:00:26.940 but can we really trust the arsonists who lit the fire to put it out?
00:00:32.140 The Honourable Government House Leader.
00:00:36.160 Mr. Speaker, I would obviously pose a question, which is during the pandemic,
00:00:41.920 what would they cut? What supports would they not have offered to Canadians?
00:00:45.840 In what way would they have not been there when Canadians needed them most?
00:00:49.960 The second question I would ask, Mr. Speaker, as we enter a time that is the most difficult,
00:00:54.040 probably that the globe has faced since the Second World War,
00:00:57.920 that demands responsible leadership.
00:01:01.120 Amplifying anxiety is easy, Mr. Speaker.
00:01:03.360 Solutions are hard.
00:01:04.660 Are they going to support dental care for those who need it, Mr. Speaker?
00:01:07.820 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:01:10.520 What would we have cut?
00:01:12.640 We would have cut the $54 million Arrive Canada.
00:01:15.880 We would have cut the half billion dollars for the WE organization.
00:01:20.400 We said they should never have given wage subsidies to wealthy corporations
00:01:24.660 that were capable of paying out bonuses and dividends to their executives.
00:01:28.900 That's an easy question to answer.
00:01:30.380 In fact, $200 billion of the $500 billion in new debt in the last two years
00:01:33.540 had nothing to do with COVID at all.
00:01:36.460 And inflation was already spiraling out of control well before the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
00:01:41.780 So they should stop blaming everyone else and tell us how they're going to reverse the inflation that they caused.
00:01:47.760 Here, here, here.
00:01:48.760 The Honourable Government House Leader.
00:01:52.420 Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition is stating that inflation is a problem that is only faced by Canadians.
00:02:00.780 He is presuming that Canadians are not watching what's happening in the rest of the world.
00:02:05.240 And I wonder, Mr. Speaker, right now, that he has an opportunity and they reverse the decision that they made on C-30
00:02:13.600 to provide support for Canadians.
00:02:15.840 They have another opportunity to reverse their position to make sure that low-income renters have an opportunity
00:02:21.940 to get the money they need in these difficult global times.
00:02:25.260 They have an opportunity to make sure that those that need dental care get it.
00:02:28.720 Will they reverse their position in support as in these measures?
00:02:30.920 The Honourable Opposition, sorry, the Leader of the Opposition. 0.95
00:02:36.340 It is true that dumb governments that ran massive deficits all around the world and printed money to pay for it 0.89
00:02:43.240 all have inflation problems. 0.90
00:02:45.100 Countries like Switzerland, that had low or no deficits, have low or no inflation.
00:02:51.420 This was a choice.
00:02:52.860 This government decided to spend a half trillion dollars.
00:02:58.080 Inflating the cost of living, more dollars chasing fewer goods, leads always to higher prices.
00:03:02.960 And now we have 40-year highs in inflation.
00:03:05.580 But how can we trust the very few people who caused this problem to fix it?
00:03:10.280 Here, here, here.
00:03:11.120 The Honourable Government House Leader.
00:03:14.280 Mr. Speaker, around the world we're dealing with unprecedented times.
00:03:18.960 Climate change, a war that has happened in Ukraine.
00:03:22.940 We're dealing with global inflation, and that demands maturity and serious answers.
00:03:27.280 And I would say, Mr. Speaker, to the member opposite,
00:03:30.240 that in this time, we have an opportunity not to amplify anxiety,
00:03:34.300 not to make people more scared, but to provide them real solutions.
00:03:38.280 It's bad enough that they're not willing to support dental care.
00:03:41.320 I'm just asking, as the House Leader, as somebody who's attempting to get that legislation
00:03:45.500 in support for Canadians, will they at least stop opposing it
00:03:49.080 so that the parties that do support it can get it done?
00:03:52.100 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:03:54.420 So now he blames the war in Ukraine for inflation
00:03:57.300 when less than 0.3% of Canada's trade is with Russia and Ukraine combined.
00:04:04.600 Furthermore, the very things that the Russians and the Ukrainians produce, 0.99
00:04:09.380 oil and agriculture, are abundant here at home
00:04:13.520 if only the government would get out of the way
00:04:15.020 and let our farmers and energy workers produce it. 0.99
00:04:17.660 If we can't do that, we've got bigger problems still.
00:04:20.680 It's time for them to actually take responsibility.
00:04:24.000 A half trillion dollars of inflationary deficits have made life more expensive
00:04:28.040 and have been bone-crushing for our consumers.
00:04:31.020 When will they reverse these inflationary policies?
00:04:33.180 Mr. Speaker, the Honourable Government House Leader.
00:04:37.200 So, Mr. Speaker, they didn't support child care for those that needed it
00:04:42.340 to help cut it in half immediately and make sure that it goes to $10 a day.
00:04:46.560 Mr. Speaker, they didn't support raising taxes on those who were earning the most
00:04:51.780 so that we could give a break to those in the middle of class.
00:04:54.640 And now here we are again, Mr. Speaker, with dental care
00:04:58.440 where there's many families who are struggling
00:05:00.540 because of the challenges that are happening across this globe.
00:05:03.640 And they're not supporting that, Mr. Speaker.
00:05:05.980 And I understand they're not supporting that.
00:05:08.140 That's their partisan position.
00:05:10.220 But will they at least get out of the way
00:05:11.720 so that those of us that are trying to help Canadians right now
00:05:14.520 can pass legislation?
00:05:15.460 So, please.
00:05:15.800 Thank you.
00:05:15.980 Hello, everybody.
00:05:16.320 Doing a great job.
00:05:16.880 Thank you.
00:05:17.680 Thank you.
00:05:18.440 Thank you.
00:05:18.680 Please.
00:05:19.640 Thank you.
00:05:19.960 Hello, everybody.
00:05:20.620 Thank you.
00:05:21.460 Thank you.
00:05:21.860 Thank you.
00:05:23.800 You
