Mr. Speaker, this government is really out of touch with reality. After eight years, everything costs more. What is more, the government is planing to impose an additional tax of $0.41 per litre of gas. Farmers are struggling as a result of the rising costs of inputs and fuel. Processors and distributers are also frustrated. The result is that 1.5 million Canadians are using food banks. In my riding, there has been a 27.5% increase in the use of the Moisson Beauce food bank. That is unprecedented. The government's role is simple. It is to ensure that Canadians can put food on their tables. When will the Prime Minister understand that enough is enough with the new taxes?

Mr. Speaker, I think the minister must still have her head in the clouds, because what Canadians are looking for are tangible solutions to the cost-of-living crisis. This government would rather raise taxes and watch Canadians starve. “Canada's Food Price Report 2023” is very clear. A family of four will have to pay $1,065 more for food. When will the government show some common sense and commit to not imposing new taxes?
