Mr. Speaker, after eight years under the Liberal-NDP Prime Minister, Canadians know that he is not worth the cost. Even proud Liberal and former Bank of Canada governor, David Dodge, who worked for Paul Martin and Jean Chrétien, says that this budget is on track to be the worst one since 1982. Canadians know that this budget will bring higher taxes and higher spending, meaning even more misery for families that cannot afford to eat. Instead of drowning everyone, will the Liberals fix the budget, axe the tax on farmers and food, and stop the endless spending with a dollar-for-dollar law so that Canadians can afford to live?

Mr. Speaker, if we want to lower inflation and enable the Bank of Canada to reduce interest rates, we have limited options. We need to cap spending by applying the dollar-for-dollar rule. If we spend a dollar, we have to find a way to save a dollar. It is simple. That is how ordinary Canadians manage their household budgets. That is how every minister in this government should run their department. Will the Prime Minister cap spending in his upcoming budget to bring down inflation and interest rates?
