Mr. Speaker, we have a cost-of-living crisis that is hurting people. The Liberals kept saying “it is not our fault” and that it is worse in other countries. We have a leader of the opposition who thinks he can magically opt out of inflation by buying cryptocurrency, which ended up tanking and hurting people, so we have “say nothing” and “do nothing”, and then we have New Democrats, who forced the government to put more money into people's pockets. My question is this: What took the government so long to act when people needed respect and support?

Mr. Speaker, on average, the cost of groceries has gone up by 10%. Major grocery store CEOs are making huge profits. Their greed played a role in the inflation that is hurting families right now. When will the government force the these major grocery store CEOs to pay their fair share and reinvest, as a show of respect for families and people across this country?
