Madam Speaker, the Christmas holidays are two weeks away. Families will gather around the table. However, all families are worried about inflation right now. What is more, inflation is hitting them where it hurts the most: food, which is a basic necessity. There is one thing that the government could do immediately that is entirely within its control. I am talking about taxes. Will the government promise not to increase taxes in 2023, yes or no?

Madam Speaker, the government continues to roll out programs with a lack of controls. We saw that recently in the Auditor General's report, as more than $32 billion went to people who were not able to apply for programs or who need to be investigated. That was due to a lack of controls in pandemic programs. We know that the Governor of the Bank of Canada said that inflation is homegrown. We know that the Parliamentary Budget Officer said that hundreds of billions of dollars that went out the door during the pandemic were not for pandemic programs. Again, will the government stop its wasteful inflationary spending so people can put food on their tables and heat their homes?

Madam Speaker, gradually and then suddenly, from 2015 to now, the Liberals have added $800 billion in debt. They nearly doubled the debt. What was the inflation rate in October 2015? It was 1%. What was it earlier this year? It was over 8%. Now they have tripled the carbon tax on every single thing we need for living our lives. If the Liberals want to help Canadians, what can they do? How about cut the carbon tax? When will the Liberals get rid of the wasteful carbon tax?

Madam Speaker, unfortunately, that is absolutely cold comfort for families who are struggling right now to keep the heat on in their homes. More Alberta families are going to be paying more in carbon tax than what they will receive back. The Parliamentary Budget Officer has made that exceptionally clear. Also, 1.5 million Canadians visited a food bank in one single month. Just a couple of day ago, a poll came out saying that 53% of Canadians are fearful about feeding their families. This is not a laughing matter, and it is not something to just spend away. Inflation is eating up those costs. When will they axe their failed carbon tax?
