Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is not worth the cost of everything going up. He increased a tax on energy with the support of the Bloc Québécois, which wants to drastically increase it. He increased payroll taxes, once again with the support of the Bloc Québécois. He has driven up inflationary spending with the support of the Bloc Québécois, which voted in favour of all this discretionary spending. Now he wants to increase taxes on beer, wine and all other alcoholic beverages as of April 1. People need a drink after all the taxes this Prime Minister makes them pay. Will he cancel these increases?

Mr. Speaker, our Conservative common-sense plan will axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime. Meanwhile, the NDP-Liberal Prime Minister has raised taxes on gas, heat, groceries and paycheques; raised income taxes on middle-class and lower-income Canadians; and raised taxes on small businesses. He keeps raising taxes. It is enough to drive a man to drink, but he wants to tax that too on April 1 with another 5% increase on beer, wine and spirits that will kill jobs for those workers and raise costs for consumers. Will he have the humanity to let someone have a drink in peace?
