Madam Speaker, it might be April 1, but the tax increases taking effect today are no joke. This morning, Canadians woke up to higher taxes on their gas, groceries and heating as the result of a 25% increase in the carbon tax. Everything that gets delivered by truck is going to go up. It is inevitable, and the consumers are the ones who will pay. Why does the Liberal-NDP government think it is acceptable to punish Canadians at the worst possible time, when they cannot afford it?

Madam Speaker, a new Ipsos poll confirms how out of touch the NDP-Liberal government is with the reality of Canadian workers. We are in an affordability crisis. Canadians want a budget that addresses the high cost of living, not an ideological platform with higher taxes on basic necessities like food, transportation and heating. There was a time when Liberals like Jean Charest—oops, I meant to say Jean Chrétien— Some hon. members: Oh, oh! Mr. Bernard Généreux: That is the first time his name has been mentioned in the House, Madam Speaker. I was talking about Jean Chrétien. We have known Liberals like Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin who governed responsibly. What happened to the Liberal Party?

Madam Speaker, I am issuing a heartfelt plea to the government to help Laurence Couture Gagnon, a young Canadian mother who had to flee the war in Ukraine with her newborn, Léo. They are in Poland. She desperately wants to return to Canada, but the embassy in Warsaw is taking a long time to issue a citizenship certificate for her baby, who is also Canadian. Once they have the certificate, they can get a passport and come back to Canada. How is the government going to help me help her?
