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, 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, 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?
