Mr. Speaker, Canadians are out of money and the Prime Minister is out of touch.
After eight years, the cost of living is at an all-time high. Paycheques are wearing thin. Housing, rent and mortgages have all doubled. The carbon tax will add 41¢ a litre to the price of gas. After eight years of the government's soft-on-crime policies and a broken bail system, violent crime has gone up a staggering 32% in this country.
Canadians are struggling, but the Prime Minister has never had it so good. He has had five lavish vacations this year alone, most recently in New York taking selfies with celebrities, and an $80,000 free vacation to Jamaica, which was conveniently paid for by a Trudeau Foundation donor.
The contrast between this out-of-touch Prime Minister and our Conservative leader could not be more clear. Our leader is here on the road in this country, meeting with hard-working Canadians, hearing their stories and actually showing up for work here in Ottawa.
Canadians are out of money, and the Prime Minister is out of touch, but soon—

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are out of money, and the Prime Minister is out of touch and often out of the country. While Canadians struggle to put food on the table and a roof over their heads, the Prime Minister has very different priorities. Here are the numbers that the Prime Minister is concerned about: $80,000 is the value of a trip paid for by Trudeau Foundation donors; 15 is the number of celebrities he met during the lavish trip to New York; and 45 is the number of selfies taken.
Thanks to the Liberal-NDP carbon tax coalition, here are the numbers that concern Canadians: zero is the number of emission targets hit; 41¢ is the increase in the price of gas per litre; $150,000 is the price an average farm family will have to pay thanks to the carbon tax; and 34% is the amount grocery prices are predicted to increase by 2030.
Canadians are living a nightmare and paying for the Prime Minister's authoritarian dream. A Conservative government will scrap the carbon tax scam, bring home powerful paycheques and ensure that the dreams of Canadians come first.

Mr. Trudeau—Mr. Speaker, Montrealers, like Canadians all across the country, care deeply—
Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is basically saying that it just was not important enough for anyone to be informed that a Canadian MP had his family threatened by a foreign operative in order to punish him for a vote. No one believes the Prime Minister when he says that. Everybody knows that this is of the highest importance. If his government is operating in a way that it is not important, then he clearly cannot defend the national interests of this country.
Recently, we had testimony from the chair of the Trudeau Foundation, who said that he cannot tell us to whom the donation from Beijing was returned. Can the Prime Minister tell us?

Mr. Speaker, the question was about the donation from Beijing to the Trudeau Foundation.
We know that the Prime Minister's own brother processed the donation. We know that CSIS intelligence, from an intercepted phone call of Beijing's diplomats, revealed that the purpose of the donation was to politically influence the current Prime Minister. In the new development, the chair of the Trudeau Foundation said that he cannot tell where the donation ended up. He said they gave it back, but they do not know whom they gave it back to.
Will the Prime Minister support new powers for the Auditor General to fully audit the Trudeau Foundation so that we can get to the bottom of this scandal?

Mr. Speaker, as the member opposite fully knows, and as all MPs have heard me say probably a dozen times in this House, it has been close to 10 years since I have had any direct or indirect engagement with the Trudeau Foundation. He needs to continue to direct his questions to it.
