Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have failed when it comes to making life more affordable for Canadians. Canadians are worse off today than they were six years ago with out-of-control gas, grocery, rent and housing costs. What does the Prime Minister do? He does nothing except blame everyone else. Inflation is the fault of COVID and for high gas prices, he blames Putin. That is a cop-out. What is the Liberal government going to do to reduce the prices of things like fuel and groceries, and when is it finally going to do it?

Mr. Speaker, we continue to move forward on supports for families and supports for Canadians, including during this difficult time. The war in Ukraine and the supply chain disruptions caused by this pandemic are contributing to global inflation, which Canadians are feeling. People are struggling with the cost of groceries and people are struggling with the cost of gas. I spoke with a number of families in Saskatoon just last week that thanked me for the fact that the amounts they are paying for child care have significantly dropped already, more than enough to compensate for some of the extra charges. We are delivering supports for families across the country. We will continue to be there for Canadians every step of the way.
