Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government and inflation are driving up the cost of living, especially for rural Canadians. Mike, a senior living in my riding, wrote to me on Monday, saying that over the past year, his rent has increased by 50%, fuel costs are up by 40%, his medications are up 22% and his food costs are up by 12%. Like many Canadians, Mike is struggling under the burden of the government's taxes on basic necessities and the idea of tripling the carbon tax. Will the Liberal government cancel its planned tax hikes on gas, groceries and home heating today?
