“Household debt, up at record levels. Number of people who can’t pay their mortgages, increasing. Foodbank use, continuing to rise. Now, TD Bank is forecasting a recession with hundreds of thousands of lost jobs,” said Conservative MP Andrew Scheer in a scathing critique of the Liberal government as parliamentarians returned to the House of Commons this week.
In response, Prime Minister Mark Carney asserted his government “expects the support of all in this House” as it pursues the removal of internal trade barriers and nation-building projects.
On Thursday’s Rebel Roundup livestream, hosts Sheila Gunn Reid and Lise Merle shared their thoughts as Carney made his first appearance as prime minister in Commons.
After defending the Liberals decision to delay a budget announcement, Sheila said it Carney was pretending “to need some time” to “figure out what the government is doing” despite the government “doing everything” Carney told it to do as Trudeau’s economic adviser.
