‘Enough is Enough, Carney Is Out Of Touch’: Poilievre SLAMS Canadian PM’s Economic Policies

Our economy under Mr. Carney is collapsing in real time. It is hemorrhaging and rupturing thousands of jobs. Our young people, youth unemployment is near record highs. Our youth are desperate. They can't find homes. They can't find jobs. And now Mark Carney wants to bring in more temporary foreign workers to make it even harder. Mark Carney is out of touch. His spending and immigration are out of control. And young people are out of jobs. Enough is enough. We need to totally reverse the economic policies of this government. We need to lower taxes for small businesses, cut gas and diesel taxes, remove red tape so that our job creators can hire more people and pay more salaries to our hardworking youth. And that's what we as Conservatives are fighting for. Save you money and save your job. Thank you, sir. Good morning, Mr. Boliev. Malhamid with the Canadian Press. The government has promised to reform the temporary foreign worker program. What do you think should be done from your perspective specifically to reform this program? We should get rid of the temporary foreign worker program outside of communities with less than 5.5% unemployment. That has been a policy that is exactly what I announced just over a year ago. Canadian jobs should go to Canadians first. But Mark Carney is very clear. He said the corporate lobbyists are demanding more low-wage temporary foreign workers so that they can have bigger profits and charge more for rent. So I think it's an outrage that Mark Carney is serving the interests of corporate power brokers that want to abuse low-wage temporary foreign workers by shutting our youth out of jobs. Conservatives would get rid of that program in places with a... I would like to start by saying thank you to all of the people who are here today. I would like to say thank you to all of the people who are here today. I would like to say thank you to all of the people who are here today. I would like to say thank you to all of the people who are here today. I would like to say thank you to all of the people who are here today. I would like to say thank you to all of the people who are here today. I would like to say thank you to all of the people who are here today. I would like to say thank you to all of the people who are here today. I would like to say thank you to all of the people who are here today. I would like to say thank you to all of the people who are here today. I would like to say thank you to all of the people who are here Your party has asked for a probe, ethics probe, into the Telesat contract. Yes. And we have stated that Prime Minister Mark Carney is an old good friend since 2006 with the Telesat CEO. But he denied those allegations. Then discussion, that question lies there, like is there any discussion with the ministries? Or they replied that he's not involved in any kind of decision. What Canadians should take out of this discussion or decision, how your party is taking that? Yes, thank you, Nitin. It's a very good question. So, obviously, it's illegal for Mr. Carney to help support tax dollars for his... Very good friend's company. Under Section 9 of the Conflict of Interest Act, it is illegal for the Prime Minister to help a friend get taxpayer money in any way. So when this first came to light, that the company got the contract for $2.4 billion, Carney's office said he was not involved in discussions or decisions to give Telesat that $2.4 billion contract. But then the story changed, and he said, oh, I wasn't involved in the decision. But now he won't say whether he was involved in the discussion. Why does this matter? If the prime minister is sitting in a room full of powerful bureaucrats and ministers, and he starts saying, Telesat is an amazing company, wouldn't it be incredible if they got the contract, then he is ultimately influencing the decision, even if he's not technically the one signing on the dotted line. Yesterday, I gave him two chances to tell us if he had ever discussed Telesat and his friend Dan Goldberg with bureaucrats or ministers. He refused to answer. Let's get this straight. This is a company run by Mr. Carney's jogging buddy. They read books together in a book club together. They've been friends for 20 years. They're so close that when Mr. Carney was living in London, Mr. Goldberg flew all the way there to visit him. So they're definitely friends. And I also point out that the story doesn't make sense. They said they have to give this contract to Telesat to enforce our sovereignty over satellite technology. Sovereignty. The company relies on SpaceX, an American company, to launch its satellites. It's paying a billion dollars. to that American company, so it's not about sovereignty, it's obviously about helping a company that the Prime Minister is connected to, which would be against the law, so I asked the Prime Minister to answer the question, did you at any time discuss the Telesat, Telesat as a company? The contract, Dan Goldberg or anything else, with your bureaucrats or your ministers, yes or no, stop hiding, the truth will come out. Canadians who are relying on this food bank should not have to pay taxes for a $2.5 billion contract to the Prime Minister's jogging buddy.
