Mr. Speaker, the rising cost of living continues to affect the everyday lives of my constituents in Beauce. With inflation at a record high, Canadians are struggling to make ends meet. The lack of leadership from this government is unbelievable. The price of gas in Beauce has hit $1.60 per litre. Grocery bills are going up by 5% to 7%, which adds up to $1,000 for a family of four. The people of Beauce want answers. Why is the government not looking for ways to help Canadians through the final stages of this pandemic?

Mr. Speaker, the only thing this government knows how to do is stick to its talking points. Sure, seniors get the guaranteed income supplement, but, let us be honest, indexing falls far short of the inflation rate we are seeing. What should I say to constituents of mine who do not get the guaranteed income supplement or to seniors in my riding who can barely pay the rent? Instead of upping income tax to cover its excessive spending, when will the government wake up and get serious about helping Canadians?
