Mr. Speaker, the new Conservative leader will put people first: their retirements, their paycheques, their homes and their country. Today, people feel like they have lost control of their pocketbooks and of their lives. The cost of government is driving up the cost of living. The Liberal government has doubled our national debt, adding more debt than all previous governments combined. It is the most expensive government in history. The more it spends, the more things cost. What is the result? Seniors delay their retirements and watch their life savings evaporate with inflation. Thirty-year-olds are trapped in 400 square-foot apartments, or worse, their parents’ basements because the price of homes have doubled under these Liberals. Single mothers are putting water in their children’s milk so they can try to afford the 10% year-over-year increase in the price of groceries. No wonder people are worried. Most are lucky to get by. Many are falling behind. There are people in this country who are just hanging on by a thread. These are citizens of our country. We are their servants. We owe them hope.
