CPC Accomplishments (2024)
End of Session Update
Over the past five months, Conservatives have been fighting hard in Parliament to hold the coalition accountable and bring home common sense.
After nine years of Justin Trudeau, Canadians are struggling. The Liberal-NDP government continues to pour fuel on the inflationary fire with $60 billion in new inflationary spending, meaning that inflation stayed higher, longer.
Justin Trudeau’s economic vandalism has meant that Canadians are getting poorer as productivity and GDP per Capita both decline.
Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh continue to ignore the crime and chaos on our streets, letting dangerous, repeat, violent offenders out on bail and funding dangerous drugs with taxpayer dollars.
Over the past few months, Conservatives have been fighting hard in Parliament to hold the coalition accountable and bring home common sense.
