Mr. Speaker, the minister says that the Conservatives would leave Canadians to their own devices, but housing prices have doubled. In fact, when the Prime Minister came to power, the average Canadian could pay for their housing with 32% of their paycheque. Now that cost eats up 50% of their paycheque. The price of food is rising faster than it has in the past 40 years. Canadians have no more to give, but the government wants to raise payroll taxes as well as gasoline and heating taxes. Will the government stop these tax increases so that Canadians can pay their bills?

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?
