Mr. Speaker, a year ago, the Minister of Finance said there would be deflation in Canada. She promised prices would go down for Canadian families. Instead, we have seen grocery prices go up 15% to 20%. We have seen gas go up 40%. We have seen housing, rent and mortgage prices go up 20% to 30%. She misled Canadians with the deflation promise. Today, in the mandate letter for the Minister of Finance, why is there is no mention of the inflation crisis?

Mr. Speaker, the reality is the Minister of Finance was the first Canadian politician ever to be flagged for misleading Canadians online. It is quite rich for that minister to suggest other people are misleading Canadians, when she has been flagged just as Donald Trump was. It is almost the end of the year. I will give the minister the opportunity to apologize to Canadians for misleading them during the federal election.

Mr. Speaker, I would note Donald Trump does not apologize either. The cost of living crisis is worse than it has been in decades. It is a disaster. This winter, some families will have to choose between heating their house and buying groceries because wages are not going up. That is unacceptable. Do the Liberals understand the choices Canadians have to make because of their inflation?
