Mr. Speaker, the Governor of the Bank of Canada says that because deficits spilled over longer than they needed to, inflation went on longer than it needed to as well. As a result, the average cost to a Canadian is $3,500. Now, yesterday, the Parliamentary Budget Officer said that the Liberal government has brought in $50 billion in brand new inflationary spending, contradicting the claim that the Liberals would “keep their powder dry”.
Why are they spending more and making Canadians pay more?

Mr. Speaker, this Liberal government is really out of touch with what is happening in Canada. Inflation is hurting Canadians, who can no longer make ends meet.
I often talk about workers who have to use food banks, namely, 1.5 million in just one month; young people who are living in their parents' basement because housing prices have doubled in Quebec City alone; and students who have to sleep in shelters. I have been talking about these issues for a long time. I want to remind members that we are living in a G7 country.
Does the Liberal government recognize these hardships and will it take real action like not increasing the carbon tax?

Mr. Speaker, Ontario food bank usage is at a record high because of the Prime Minister's reckless inflationary spending. Forty-six per cent of food bank users are there because they cannot afford food. Fourteen per cent are there because they cannot afford housing. Eleven per cent of those users' wages are being eaten alive by the Prime Minister's inflation.
When will the Prime Minister realize the pain this inflation is causing Canadians, stop his reckless spending and get in touch so that Canadians do not have to keep skipping lunch?

Mr. Speaker, the trust fund Prime Minister is completely out of touch. The supports he is talking about are being vaporized by his own inflation. His inflation is going to cost each Canadian $3,500.
When my family moved here, we lived basement to basement while the Prime Minister lived in taxpayer-funded mansions. That is why he has no clue. He has not only driven out investment; he is also driving out newcomers.
When will he stop driving newcomers out of this country, get in touch with reality and stop forcing families into food banks?

Mr. Speaker, all the supposed supports the Prime Minister is talking about are being vaporized by inflation. It is crushing Canadians.
The Prime Minister continues to crush them with his plan to triple the carbon tax. It is going to punish Canadians for living their lives, for buying groceries, for heating their homes and for driving to work. While food bank usage is at a record high, a third of food bank users being children, the Prime Minister is sipping champagne in a $6,000-per-night taxpayer-funded hotel room.
The Liberals are out of touch and Canadians are out of money. When will the failed Prime Minister cancel his failed carbon tax?

Mr. Speaker, a successful agri-food business owner in my riding has shown me his freight bills with large surcharges from shipping companies that have been added due to the carbon tax. This entrepreneur takes great pride in using made-in-Canada inputs but wonders how much longer he can continue to absorb these extra costs.
Will the Prime Minister stop this made-in-Canada inflation and cancel his plan to triple the carbon tax, or will he just triple down and let his carbon tax cancel this entrepreneur's made-in-Canada success story?

Mr. Speaker, the government does not have a plan for the environment. It has a tax plan that it is going to triple.
Even the Governor of the Bank of Canada has said that the carbon tax is inflationary. These surcharges are a textbook example of made-in-Canada inflation. A food processor, like my constituent, has to pass on those surcharges. The carbon tax is driving up the cost of groceries and forcing more Canadians to the food banks.
Will the Prime Minister give people some hope and cancel his plan to triple his carbon tax?

Mr. Speaker, what the Conservatives do understand is the number of targets the Liberal government has hit, which is zero.
The cost of government is raising the cost of living, with $54 million for arrive scam, $6,000 for a hotel room for one night and billions of dollars in corporate welfare. All the while, Canadians are suffering with high rates of inflation, the doubling of interest on mortgage payments and record food bank usage.
Will the government finally show a bit of discipline and a bit of compassion and limit its inflationary deficit spending?
