House Hansard - 297

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
April 10, 2024 02:00PM
Context: House Hansard - 297 - Apr/10/24
Mr. Mark Strahl (Chilliwack—Hope, CPC)
Mr. Speaker, after eight years of the NDP-Liberal government, many Canadians can no longer afford to feed their families. Last year, two million Canadians visited food banks in a single month alone, but instead of bringing down the cost of food, the Prime Minister increased the carbon tax on groceries by 23% on April 1. Clearly, the Prime Minister is not worth the cost. Instead of making things worse, will the Prime Minister finally cut the cost of food by adopting Conservative Bill C-234 to take all carbon taxes off farmers in next week's budget?

Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government is completely out of touch with ordinary Canadians who cannot feed their families with phony Liberal photo ops. Canadians are already lining up at the food banks in record numbers. Increasing the carbon tax on farmers and food is only making things worse. Seventy per cent of Canadians want the government to axe the tax, and half a dozen premiers are demanding an emergency meeting on the carbon tax crisis. Will the Prime Minister stop hiding, hold a carbon tax conference with the premiers and listen to their plans to axe the tax?
