Rising debt interest costs over $5,000 per year for families, Andrew Scheer notes
Family of four faces over $5,000 debt cost

A family of four now has to pay over $5,000 annually just to cover the interest on debt, according to Andrew Scheer.

Scheer also suggested that deficits attributed to Carney are contributing to higher inflation, in addition to the increased debt cost.

Scheer has previously raised concerns about Carney's decision to exclude sectors such as mining, real estate, and agriculture from a capital gains exemption. He has also highlighted recent data showing that Canada lost over 100,000 jobs in two months, with fewer people seeking work than in decades. These points have featured in his broader comments on the current economic environment.
