“This is not to mention that ours is the only country in the entire G20 to be in a recession. The Conservatives are wholeheartedly against shutting down this motion. I sit on the finance committee.”
“The Liberals are ideologically obsessed with the carbon tax. There's the clean fuel standard. We do not want to include the GST on top of that, which would have saved Canadians 25¢ per litre, or $1,200 for a family.”
“Mr. Speaker, before I begin, I want to inform you that I am splitting my time with my good friend from Saskatoon West , who brought me to his riding. I remember it was -40°C. He promised me he would show me an ice rink. I did not know he was talking about the roads in Saskatoon, not an actual ice rink.”
“Those are our jobs and factories or growth that could have happened here, but high Liberal taxes and regulation have driven them away. The Liberal Prime Minister has driven out, as a net loss, $20 billion of investment outside Canada. He is the guy who said he would fix everything.”
“The Liberals are adding another $68 billion in new spending. The PBO came out with a scathing report just two weeks ago, saying the Liberal government has a “less than 1 per cent” chance of meeting one of its own fiscal anchors, and debunking the other fiscal anchors the government had put in place.”
“The opposition's job, which Canadians sent us to this place to do, is to expose the endless, reckless spending by the Prime Minister and the Liberal government. It is not just us saying things are bad right now.”

“Mr. Speaker, my friend from Calgary Nose Hill is right when she says that real sovereign wealth funds like in Norway run from surpluses, resource revenue or royalties, and they do not invest within Norway because of inflationary issues that could come up from that. I was wondering if she could expand on a point she raised about why Canadians are so concerned about this debt fund by the Liberal Prime Minister given the Liberals' track record of slush funds, giving money to Liberal-connected insiders and the corruption and scandals we have seen over the last 10 years.”
“Mr. Speaker, for a party that gave Canadians the second-highest unemployment in the entire G7, it is hard to believe those tradespeople will actually have a job after they graduate. This credit card budget has more debt, more costs, more spending and more taxes, all by the same old Liberals. Now Canadians have the highest food inflation, second-highest unemployment, highest consumer debt and highest housing costs in the entire G7. Will the costly Liberal Prime Minister just finally admit he is a worse money manager than Justin Trudeau was?”
“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is just another costly Liberal. He gave himself a gold medal for the highest deficit outside of COVID in Canadian history in his November budget. Yesterday, he gave himself a silver medal for having the second highest with his credit card budget. He spends more tax dollars on the interest on his debt than what goes to provinces in health care transfers. Why is the Liberal Prime Minister's priority always to make bankers, bondholders and Brookfield richer?”
“In what world is it fair that the Liberal Prime Minister is giving more money to his banker and bondholder buddies than what goes to doctors and nurses in health care transfers?”
“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is just another expensive Liberal. He said he would spend less, and then he doubled Justin Trudeau's deficit. The Liberals liberalled, and they doubled the national debt. Every single year, debt-servicing costs are going to go up, and they are going to be more than what the provinces get in health care transfers or what is collected in GST revenue. In fact, debt servicing costs are going to go up by 50% by 2031, all on the backs of hard-working Canadians. This is all while the Liberals have given Canadians the worst housing debt, the most housing costs, the highest food inflation and the second-highest unemployment in the entire G7. This economic update is more debt, more costs, more taxes and more spending, all from the same old Liberals.”
“Mr. Speaker, in an hour, we are going to find out just how expensive Liberal good news really is. It is these massive deficits that we are probably going to see in the next hour, the same massive deficits that mean inflation today and higher taxes tomorrow. The cost of government has driven up the cost of living, and 2.2 million Canadians are going to a food bank in a single month, because the government gave Canadians the highest food inflation in the G7 and the highest household debt. Will the Liberal Prime Minister commit to capping the deficit at no more than the already reckless $31 billion Trudeau gave?”
“Mr. Speaker, it is hard to believe, but the Liberal Prime Minister makes Justin Trudeau look like a penny-pincher. After saying he would spend less, he doubled his deficit and added $90 billion in new spending, more debt, more costs, more taxes and more spending; the same old Liberals. While adding to the nation's credit card, Canadians are putting their own bills on their personal credit cards. Will the Liberal Prime Minister end his costly credit card budgeting so that Canadians can finally afford to live?”
“Mr. Speaker, the only thing these guys have built so far is literally 12 bureaucracies, nothing else. The Prime Minister said he would spend less. A year after that, he has increased bureaucracy, he has increased consultants and he has increased the deficit, all on the national credit card, all on the backs of Canadians. Once again, will the Liberals end their credit card budgeting so Canadians can finally afford to live?”
“Mr. Speaker, the only surplus this Prime Minister knows is the one in his offshore tax haven. The guy literally doubled Trudeau's deficit and gave Canadians the worst food inflation in the G7 and the worst household debt in the G7. Tomorrow, he is going to table another costly credit card budget and put it on the national credit card, all on the backs of Canadians. Will the Prime Minister end his credit card budgeting so Canadians can finally afford to live?”
“Mr. Speaker, if Canadians got a dollar every time the Liberals bragged about a $90 tax cut, they would have a whole lot more than $90 in their pockets. The Liberal math was on full display last week. They took a third of the tax off for a third of the year. That tax trick does not give Canadians real relief. In fact, if they had implemented our plan, Canadians would have saved 25¢ per litre, $1,200 a year. Instead of cutting a third of the tax for a third of the year, why do they not cut all of the tax for all of the year?”
“Mr. Speaker, the only things emptier than the Prime Minister 's weekend of recycled speeches are Canadians' shelves, stomachs and gas tanks. Today's data confirmed that Canada has the highest food inflation in the G7 for the fourth straight month. The Liberals cannot blame global factors. Their industrial carbon tax and fuel standard have made our food and fuel more expensive. Why will the Prime Minister not cut the recycled speeches and instead cut the Liberal fuel taxes for the rest of the year?”
“Today, Conservatives brought a motion forward to remove all federal taxes for the rest of the year for Canadians. If the Prime Minister is going to steal our ideas, he should at least be willing to steal them whole.”
“Mr. Speaker, no one is surprised the Liberal Prime Minister stole another Conservative idea, but like a typical Liberal, he only took a part of it. The Prime Minister said he was looking for solutions. We put one right in front of him. Conservatives are calling for all federal fuel taxes to be removed for the rest of this year, including the excise tax, the GST, the Liberal fuel standard and the industrial carbon tax. Canadians would save 25¢ per litre at the pump, and families would save $1,200 just this year. Instead, the Liberals announced a half-measure and kept all the Liberal fuel taxes in place that are driving up the cost of gas, groceries and transportation. Canadians are paying 20¢ more per litre than the Americans, and the difference is federal Liberal fuel taxes.”
“That is good-paying jobs and a good economy, which could help contribute to those roads and social services that my colleague is talking about.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is interesting, because I held a town hall in my riding as well last week. I overwhelmingly heard about how the Liberals have caused the cost of living crisis and about how my constituents would like federal fuel taxes removed as well, which would help them at the pump and, of course, at the grocery store. Where we differ, and where the Liberals have held Canada back from growth, is that if we want to properly fund our roadways and properly fund social services, we need a good and booming resource sector, which is something the Liberals have refused to do. In fact by keeping our resources in the ground, not only have we become more dependent but the world has also become worse off because it does not have good, clean, low-carbon energy from Canada.”
“Mr. Speaker, in fact the impact on the deficit would be a lot less than the revenues they are taking in. This would actually be a benefit, and at the end of the day, that benefit would go to Canadians. Canadians would see a direct impact at the pump, and it would directly help lower the cost of food. There are many different reasons we proposed the idea. It is too bad the Liberals once again did not implement the whole idea. They stole just a small portion of it. Once again, it is just politics to them.”
“Canadians will not get a break at the grocery store whatsoever, and the break at the pump could have been a lot bigger if they had just implemented the Conservative plan fully.”
“Mr. Speaker, it seems as if the government House leader just got here, because I just addressed that. Once again, in typical Liberal fashion, the Liberals stole our idea, but they did not steal all of it. They took only a part of it. In fact they did not get rid of the clean fuel standard and did not get rid of the industrial carbon tax, and we are even calling for the GST to be removed, which would be a savings of 25¢ per litre. However, like typical Liberals, they did only half the work and half measures, but that is what they are known for. It does not really matter to the Liberals, because everything is politics for them. Right now they can make this announcement, but their clean fuel standard is still in place, which will make food more expensive.”
“We need to get our country back on track so we can be sovereign, independent and an energy superpower once again. That is something only the Conservatives would do.”
“Most importantly, it would be a win for those families that are struggling after 10 years of Liberal government. We need to get our economy up and running again. We need to make Canada what it used to be, a safe and affordable country, which after 10 years under Liberal governments it has not been. It has become a joke around the world. We need to get our resources to market. We need to get rid of the industrial carbon tax and remove Bill C-69 so we can get projects built in this country. We need to remove Bill C-48 , the tanker ban, which does not let our product leave the west coast for Asian markets. We need to get rid of the clean fuel standard and every single one of the red tape policies that have stopped anything from getting built in this country.”
“There are people in food bank lines who had never used a food bank in their life. They used to proudly volunteer at the food banks, and now they are standing in line for food. That is the result of the Liberal government. It is increasing costs, and there is no looking back for the Liberals. They will increase the industrial carbon tax and will increase the clean fuel standard, and this is only going to make things more expensive for Canadians. The Liberals will argue that it might leave a hole in their budget. We are surprised that they would even care about that, with all the money they print and spend. However, if we implemented the removal of the fuel taxes federally, there would be more savings for Canadians and less of a downfall in how much the government would collect in revenues. This would be a win-win for everybody.”
“In fact we thought Justin Trudeau was Canada's worst money manager, but the Prime Minister said, “Hold my champagne. I can do much worse.” He doubled Justin Trudeau's deficit, if we can believe that. It is something we thought no one could do. It was item number one once he became Prime Minister. Removing the GST, the excise tax and the carbon tax 2.0, the clean fuel standard, would help the truckers and the farmers. It would help the cost of food go down. That is why Conservatives are proposing this: We know that Canadians are struggling with the cost of food. We all hear it in our ridings from moms who have to choose between less nutritious food or no food that week. Some of them are starving, just so their kids can eat. These are the choices Canadians are having to make. Seniors are having to make these choices too.”
“Everyday Canadians have to face the reality of the corrupt Liberal government. (1020) The clean fuel standard is also a tax on everything. As I said before, the farmers who are growing our food, the shippers who are transporting our food, and even the people who are storing the food all get hit with either the clean fuel standard or the industrial carbon tax, or both. Sometimes this is in hidden ways, but these costs do not stay just with the farmers and the shippers. They actually get put into the cost of the food at the end of the day. Canadians who are buying the food and are seeing food costs out of control are the ones who have to pay these costs, and it is always Liberal insiders who get to benefit from these costs. The Liberals do not have any control over what they are doing with Canadians' finances.”
“These are not numbers or statistics about which anyone should say, “Is that really a first world country where 2.2 million Canadians are going to a food bank every single month?” Canadians are overtaxed. In fact, Canadians pay more in taxes than they do for food, shelter and clothing, in other words necessities, combined. That is the result of overspending, overprinting money and flooding the market with cheap cash. Who benefits from that? It is always Liberal insiders. For example, there is the $90-billion boondoggle called the Alto high-speed rail project. The finance minister has a supposed conflict of interest in that too, and it would be wealthy Liberal insiders who would get contracts and money from those contracts. They are the only ones who would get rewarded. Who gets left with the bill? It is Canadians.”
“That is a significant savings. Even when people go to the grocery store, they can feel the difference when they are there. Not that long ago, people could get by for a week on 100 dollars' worth of groceries. One hundred dollars gets them nowhere these days under the Liberals, because they made the cost of food so expensive. Their industrial carbon tax, their clean fuel standard, which they refuse to drop, is making life more expensive. It makes food more expensive. That is why there is so much food insecurity. In my riding of Calgary East, the Salvation Army does amazing work. It just reported a 500% increase in the usage of its food security program. That 500% increase is because the cost of food keeps going up.”
“Canadians would have saved 25¢ per litre for gas at the pump. Not just everyday Canadians would save money. It would help our farmers. It would help our transporters. It would help in many different ways. It could also help bring down the cost of food. We know that after 10 years under the Liberals, Canadians are faced with the highest food inflation in the entire G7. Canadians have the highest household debt in the entire G7. We know that Canadians are struggling, because 2.2 million Canadians going to a food bank every single month is not a statistic that anyone should brag about. The cost of food is out of control in this country, and the solutions Conservatives are proposing would help to lower the cost of food and of everyday life for Canadians. Overall, they would also save Canadians $1,200 on gas just this year.”
“From what I understand, the Prime Minister did what a typical Liberal would do and just recently took our idea, but he did not take the whole idea. He took only parts of the idea. Our goal was to save on the GST, the excise tax and, of course, the Liberals' hidden carbon tax repackaged as the clean fuel standard, which will go up. This would have saved Canadians 25¢ per litre at the pump. We have to look at what is going on right now. Of course there are external factors that all countries are facing. Everyone is facing those same factors, but we have to look at why Canadians are paying, at a minimum, 20¢ per litre more than Americans are for fuel. The difference is the federal fuel taxes, so we put this solution in front of the Liberals, but, again, they did not implement it fully.”
“Speaker, I am going to be splitting my time with the member for York—Durham . The great Winston Churchill once said, “The idea that a nation can tax itself into prosperity is one of the crudest delusions which has ever fuddled the human mind.” After more than 10 years of the Liberal government, life has become miserable for Canadians, more unaffordable and unsafe than ever in the history of this country. Families are struggling just to get by, and they cannot afford even the basic necessities. They are just looking for a break. Recently, the Liberal Prime Minister said that he is trying to find ways to save on gas. Well, we presented an idea. We put the solution in front of him: Remove all federal fuel taxes temporarily for Canadians, to save them money at the pump.”
“moved: Motion That, given that, (i) gas prices have soared upwards, (ii) Canadians now pay almost 20 per cent more at the pumps than Americans due to high Liberal taxes, the House call on the government to adopt the Conservative plan to save Canadians 25 cents-a-litre by removing federal taxes on gas and diesel for the rest of 2026, including: (a) removing the Fuel Excise Tax for the remainder of 2026, which costs Canadians 10 cents-a-litre; (b) removing the GST on gasoline and diesel for the remainder of 2026, which costs Canadians 8 cents-a-litre; (c) permanently removing the Fuel Standards tax, which costs Canadians 7 cents-a-litre; and (d) permanently removing the industrial carbon tax, which will rise to $170 a tonne, and is projected to shrink the economy by 1.3 per cent and lead to 50,000 job losses. He said: Mr.”
“Mr. Speaker, the member is bragging about a $90 tax cut. One cannot even buy a jug of milk for that weekly. Canadians are paying on average 20¢ more per litre than the Americans and the difference is because of the fuel taxes. The Liberal Prime Minister said he is looking into lower gas prices, but the answer is right in front of him. Will he implement our plan to get rid of all fuel taxes federally to save Canadians $1,200 at the pump, yes or no?”
“Mr. Speaker, Liberal fuel taxes drive up the cost of gas and food. That is clear in Calgary East. Our Salvation Army has seen a 500% usage increase in its food security program because of the higher cost of food. Like a typical Liberal, the Prime Minister would rather cash in on higher oil prices for his government than give Canadians a break at the pump. Will he implement our Conservative plan to remove all federal fuel taxes to save Canadians 25¢ per litre at the pump, yes or no?”
“Mr. Speaker, my colleague brought up the Liberal government's overreach and the distrust that Canadians have. We have seen the Liberals' track record of freezing the bank accounts of people they do not agree with, their ideology and the list goes on and on. I would like for him to expand on why Canadians distrust the Liberal government so much.”
“Mr. Speaker, that guy from Alberta should be ashamed of himself for supporting the same government that keeps blocking pipelines and other energy projects. That is why 100,000 jobs were lost in the last month. Most of those were in the private sector. Other G7 countries' economies are growing. Canada's is shrinking. We are all facing the same global factors. It is shrinking because the Prime Minister keeps raising the deficits and his taxes. Why do the Liberals not put their taxes, policies and deficits out of work so that Canadians can get back to work?”
“Mr. Speaker, after a year of the Liberal Prime Minister , Canadians got more rhetoric, not results. Instead of energy security and thousands of new jobs, the Liberals blocked pipelines. Instead of investments and growth, the Liberals drove out more than half a trillion dollars' worth of it. Liberals liberalled. Canada finished 2025 with a shrinking economy, the second-highest unemployment rate and the highest household debt and food inflation in the G7. Can someone over there explain why Canada has the second-worst unemployment and the only shrinking economy in the G7?”
“In fact, I remember that when the member was a part of the Stephen Harper government, in 2014, there was an article that said that the American dream is in Canada now. Just two years ago, there was a paper that said that the Canadian dream is gone and has fled to the U.S. That is the difference.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is clear to see that the stats speak for themselves in Canada after 11 years or 10 years of Liberal governments. It does not matter who is at the head. It is still the same ministers, it is still the same House leader and it is still the same ideology, and 2.2 million Canadians are visiting a food bank in a single month. There are more children hungry today than there were 10 years ago. When the member was a part of the Stephen Harper government, we had a very rich middle class, and that middle class is becoming poorer and poorer. In fact, the gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider now. That is not something that we should be seeing in a first world country, but under the Liberals that is what we are seeing now. Canada used to be the envy of the world.”
“Mr. Speaker, I actually enjoyed my time together with the member on the finance committee when he was there, and he is absolutely right. It is this trend under the Prime Minister . He obviously has conflicts with Brookfield, yet one of the first things the government tried to do within the budget implementation act was give itself unlimited power, so the Prime Minister, behind closed doors, could give Brookfield a government contract from taxpayers without having to go through the conflict of interest test. That is literally what the government tried to do. I thank God that we, as Conservatives, stopped that from happening and put safeguards there.”
“Mr. Speaker, I would invite the member to come to my riding and to come to Alberta, because if I were to repeat what my constituents are saying about his government, I would probably get kicked out of this place. My constituents are the ones who are suffering from 10 years of bad Liberal policy. It is my province that always gets kicked down by the Liberals. Albertans are giving. We have always been giving, but we just want the federal government to get out of the way, and the Liberal government refuses to do that. That is why our energy production is not there. That is why we cannot get any resources built. I seriously am inviting the member to come door knocking in my riding so he can hear what my constituents are actually saying.”
“We are going to stop the out-of-control deficits, like the ones the government continues to have, that make taxes go up. We will bring down everyone's taxes and make sure inflation does not get out of control like it does under the Liberals, so Canadians can keep more in their pockets and spend more on what they want to spend it on. A Conservative government is also going to bring back safe streets, something the entire country is crying for. That will happen under the Conservatives.”
“After they spent over $90 billion on housing, housing is more expensive than ever. In fact, youth do not now think they will ever be able to afford a house unless they have the bank of mom and dad. That is the reality after 10 years of the Liberal government. We need to turn all of that around and bring hope back to this country. Under the leadership of our leader, that is what the Conservatives will do. We need to get our resources to market and get rid of these bad Liberal laws that are anti-development, anti-growth and anti-resources. We need to get those out of the way so we can produce more here and sell more, so we are not only independent but self-reliant and can become an energy superpower once again, as we used to be. Conservatives are going to get all the gatekeepers out of the way so we can get more homes built in this country.”
“The Liberals do not really have a plan. All of this is the reason Canada is so reliant on the U.S. We are reliant on other countries. We know the stories. When our allies came to us, looking for our good, low-carbon energy, these guys turned them away, saying there was no business case. We still do not have a case, because nothing is getting built in this country. Under the Liberals, nothing will get built in this country. Then the Prime Minister said they were going to build at speeds not seen since World War II, yet, according to their own housing agency, every single year they miss their targets. They are well below their targets. Instead of putting foundations into the ground, the only thing that these guys have created in this budget is a fourth bureaucracy.”
“once he became Prime Minister. There is no investment environment left in Canada for people to see any type of return, because the same failed policies, like Bill C-69 , the “no new pipelines” bill, are still there. Bill C-48 , which does not let our product leave the west coast, is still there. The industrial carbon tax, which also contributes to higher grocery prices, is still there. While I am talking about grocery prices, the Liberals have still not gotten rid of the food packaging tax, which adds an extra $1 billion in costs on food every single year. That is not in this budget. In fact, they promised in this budget that food prices would go up, because the industrial carbon tax would go up. When it comes to our energy sector, the industrial carbon tax is still there and does more harm than good.”
“He said he signed a piece of paper saying they intend and want pipelines to be built, but the same policies that were passed that do not let anything get built in this country are still there, and they will continue to be there because this eco-radical government's ideology will not let them get anything built. We should have had pipelines built. We could have had mines built. In fact, when I talked to a mining company in B.C., they said it takes something like 18 years to get a mine approved. Who wants to invest in Canada and pump in all this money for 18 years to maybe get a permit approved for a mine? It is ridiculous. This is why more than $600 billion of good Canadian investment has fled to the U.S. in 10 years under the Liberals. The Prime Minister is no different, because close to $60 billion of Canadian investment fled to the U.S.”
“This is the reality, where people who used to volunteer at food banks are now standing in line at the food bank, waiting for food, because they are hungry. Once again the Prime Minister's rhetoric did not match what the reality of Canadians is today. (1755) This is the same Prime Minister who said he was going to get a deal with Trump, that he was the guy. Canadians should elect him and watch his elbows go up. What happened after that? He continued the same failed policies of Justin Trudeau, who for 10 years was blocking our resources and making sure that nothing got built in this country. It is the same reason Canada is not the strong, sovereign, independent country and energy superpower that it should be today. It is because the Prime Minister doubled down on those same policies.”
“Thanksgiving 2023, Thanksgiving 2024 and Thanksgiving 2025 went by, and the only thing that happened was that Canada got the highest food inflation in the G7. This is the track record of the government. Once again they talked a big game, but the reality for Canadians did not match the big rhetoric coming out of the Liberals' mouths. The Prime Minister , again, said that he was the guy who should be judged by the prices at the grocery store. The verdict is out, and it is very expensive. It is one of the reasons 2.2 million Canadians are visiting a food bank in a single month now, a third of whom are children. Children are starving in this country. I cannot believe we are talking about this in a first world country like Canada.”
“They do not care that there are moms who have to double-check and triple-check the price of food now before they buy it, that they have to starve themselves or choose less nutritious food for their children because of how high food inflation is in Canada after 10 years of the Liberals' failed policies. What did the Liberals do in this budget? They could have done a lot in this budget to help bring down food prices. Remember, it was the current finance minister , right before Thanksgiving 2023, who tried to put on this strong act and said he was going to call all the CEOs from the grocery stores, tell them what was on his mind and tell them the way it is, and that after that, grocery prices would come down.”
“The Prime Minister said a lot of things during the election, but I want to highlight some of the things he said he would do. He said that he was the guy, and that if he was elected, he would fix all the problems that 10 years of the Liberals created. In fact, a Liberal is a Liberal, and he liberalled once again. His promises or rhetoric would never match what reality is for Canadians. This is the guy who says to judge him by the price of food at the grocery store. What ended up happening after he said that? Canada now has the highest food inflation in the entire G7. It is the highest. In fact, it is double what it is in the U.S., and I hear the Liberals being happy about that.”
“In fact, the Liberals wanted to give unlimited powers to ministers and the Prime Minister to give contracts to any entity or company that would avoid any act of Parliament, including the Conflict of Interest Act, or anything except something that would break the Criminal Code. These could be shady backroom deals. We have seen this with the Liberals before. While this country is being hit with high inflation and a crime rate that is out of control because of soft-on-crime Liberal policies, and after knowing all of that, this was what the Liberals wanted to do. It shows where the Prime Minister and the Liberal government's priorities are. They are not with Canadians. They are once again for Liberals and well-connected Liberal insiders.”
“Mr. Speaker, what have Liberals given Canadians after 10 years? They have forced 2.2 million Canadians to food banks in a single month. They have ensured that Canada has the most indebted households in the entire G7. They have made sure that food inflation is the highest in the entire G7. After causing all of that and knowing they caused all that, the first thing the Liberals are trying to do in this budget implementation act is to give unlimited powers to their ministers, and to do what? It is so they can reward, behind backdoor shady deals, and give Liberal-connected insiders, whether individuals or companies like Brookfield, contracts that would be void of and could avoid the Conflict of Interest Act.”
“Mr. Speaker, believing the Liberals are helping Canadians is as ridiculous as believing the budget will balance itself. The Prime Minister doubled Justin Trudeau's deficit, while consumer debt skyrocketed last year. Liberal deficits and taxes are forcing Canadians to borrow more, and they are racking up their credit cards just to get by. Non-mortgage debt has exploded to $675 billion. That is why Canadians are the most indebted in the entire G7. How many more Canadians need to go broke and bankrupt before the Liberals stop driving up the cost of living?”
