WARKENTIN OPPOSES COSTLY BUDGET THAT WILL MAKE LIFE EVEN MORE UNAFFORDABLE FOR CANADIANS
The Liberal government finally tabled their budget. This comes following an unprecedented delay which should have seen this budget tabled far earlier in the year.
Conservatives have been clear in our demands for an affordable budget for an affordable Canada. We want to reverse the higher prices, lower paycheques and bigger bills that the Liberals have created. Unfortunately, these budget demands have not been met.
With $141 Billion of new spending and a projected deficit of $78 Billion, this budget will undoubtedly make life more unaffordable for Canadians. It is a failure. Mark Carney is clearly taking a page from Justin Trudeau’s costly playbook. Each dollar spent in the budget is not abstract – it comes from the pockets of hardworking Canadians through taxes and inflation.
After ten years, Canadians have had enough of paying for Liberal failures. Canada’s debt is to the point where people are paying more in interest servicing fees than what the federal government sends to provinces for annual healthcare funding. This amount is more than all the GST collected by the government every year.
“This is an unaffordable budget that will make life unaffordable for average Canadians,” said Warkentin. “This level of spending is utterly reckless and completely unsustainable. It will add record debt onto future generations.”
Warkentin added, “This is a budget that will make Mark Carney’s banker and bond holder buddies wealthy while making average Canadians poorer.”
