Mr. Speaker, it is no secret that the government's record deficit spending has shot inflation through the roof. As a result, Canadians are spending more on food than ever before. This is particularly marked in rural communities like my own, where higher shipping costs add on to the cost of the end product and will only continue to get more expensive with this government's carbon taxes. Will the government finally acknowledge the damage its lavish and out-of-control spending is having on the kitchen table? Canadians are needing help. It needs to end its inflation-inducing monetary policy. Will it do it?

Mr. Speaker, unlike the federal government, struggling Canadians cannot simply print more money. They need to manage their budgets and spend within their means. They cannot impose a series of punitive taxes on their neighbours to balance their books. They need to manage their finances with the added hurdle of reduced spending power. When will the government stop spending, reduce inflation and lower massive grocery bills?
