Mr. Speaker, after eight years under this Prime Minister, a study by the Bank of Canada has found that it now takes $1.7 million for someone to retire, to be able to feed themselves for the rest of their life.
After eight years, we have the highest inflation rate in a generation. With mortgage costs going up, with the cost of rent and groceries going up as a result of this Prime Minister's inflationary policies, people can no longer afford to pay their bills.
Will the Prime Minister personally take responsibility for these problems, so we can fix what he broke?

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has been in that chair for eight years, and for millions of Canadians, things have never been worse. Inflation is at the highest it has been in 40 years, interest rates are the highest in a generation and home prices and rents are the highest they have ever been.
The Prime Minister can try to deflect responsibility; he can try to blame someone or something else. Conservatives are fighting to keep the heat on and the taxes off. Will he at least do the same?

Mr. Speaker, after eight years of this woke Prime Minister's inflationary spending, seniors are going cold, hungry and broke.
Seventy-five-year-old Janet from Montreal says that she is completely out of money because Liberal inflation drove up the cost of her groceries, gas and rent. She is saying that now she cannot even retire.
This Prime Minister will pile-drive more seniors like Janet when he triples his failed carbon tax scam, further breaking seniors and Canada. Are these the sunny ways this Prime Minister was talking about? Will he take some responsibility, show some humility and take the tax off so seniors can keep the heat on?

Mr. Speaker, yesterday, Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem admitted that the government's approach to dealing with the inflation, rate hike after rate hike, has only made things worse for Canadians. Household debt and the cost of housing are through the roof. Now what we are dealing with is a Prime Minister who promised to make it more affordable for people to find homes to call their own but has done the opposite.
Why has the Prime Minister made it so expensive to find a home to call one's own?

Mr. Speaker, we fully recognize that Canadians are facing tough times right now, which is why we are stepping up to support them directly. However, Conservatives, other than telling them, “Oh, you can opt out of inflation by buying cryptocurrencies,” which would have been devastating for family savings and totally reckless advice, simply stand against support for low-income renters. They stand against making sure that 200,000 kids, so far, can access dental care that they were not able to access before. These are things that are helping Canadians.
It is the Conservatives who have to stop pushing for cuts and austerity.
