WARKENTIN OUTLINES COMMON SENSE DEMANDS TO FIX LIBERAL BUDGET
Chris Warkentin, Member of Parliament for Grande Prairie-Mackenzie, commented on the upcoming Liberal budget announcement.
“This mess created by Justin Trudeau is getting out of control, and Canadians are bearing the punishment for his out-of-control spending and disastrous financial policies,” Warkentin stated. “This Liberal government has doubled rent, mortgage payments, and down payments. Canadians are the ones inheriting the consequences of his policies. Trudeau’s record deficits have driven interest rates sky-high. Food banks received a record two million visits in a single month last year, with a million additional people expected in 2024.”
This is why Common Sense Conservatives are demanding this government do three things to fix the budget tomorrow:
- Axe the tax on farmers and food.
- Build homes, not bureaucracy.
- Cap the spending with a dollar-for-dollar rule to bring down interest rates and inflation.
Warkentin summarized “Common Sense Conservatives will not support the budget unless it axes the Trudeau carbon tax on food, builds homes, not bureaucracy, and caps spending. This government needs to fix the budget and bring Canadians the relief they desperately need.”
