Re: Bill C-22

Madam Speaker, the economy is working for nobody. This is very clear right now, as we had, as I mentioned, an inflation rate of 8.1% in June and have a budget in 2022 of $56.5 billion with the act that was recently announced. Canadians cannot buy groceries right now, they cannot fill up their vehicles with gas at this time and new families cannot purchase homes. The economy is not working for anyone, so I would suggest the member not discuss the economy. I made it clear in my speech that the Conservatives will be supporting the bill, but it is not super inspirational.

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?

Mr. Speaker, 600,000 Quebeckers are using food banks because they cannot afford to feed themselves. More and more of them are working folk. Rising costs are driving inflation, and workers cannot make ends meet. Groceries alone have gone up by more than 10%. Will the Prime Minister commit to leaving more money in people's pockets by immediately putting an end to these new tax increases?

Mr. Speaker, the new measures proposed by the government will just get vaporized by continued sustained inflation. It is the cost of government that is driving up the cost of living. Food is up 10% year over year, and four out of 10 Canadians are cutting their diets because of rising food costs. Canadians who have never used a food bank in their lives before are being forced to because they simply cannot keep up with soaring prices. Canadians are struggling to get by, and the government plans to raise taxes on gas, home heating, groceries and paycheques. Will the government reverse its planned tax hikes and commit to no new taxes?
