Mr. Speaker, I am wondering who is actually turning their back on who.
Recently, we learned that, next year, a family of four will have to pay $700 more just for groceries. That is the unfortunate consequence of the costly Bloc-Liberal coalition and its carbon tax, which is having a real impact in Quebec. This comes after the largest increase in grocery prices in 40 years.
Will the Prime Minister finally take action so that Quebeckers can have enough to eat, especially at Christmas?

Mr. Speaker, there are not enough hours in the day to talk about how wasteful they are. The numbers are undeniable: two million Canadians use food banks every month; a family of four will spend an additional $1,065 on groceries this year; students are sleeping in shelters; and mortgage payments have doubled. The Prime Minister signed off on this mess. He is not worth the cost.
Does he at least have the humility and decency to admit that the country is in such a deplorable situation because of his inflationary spending?

Mr. Speaker, after eight years under this Prime Minister, inflation is out of control. Simply put, everything costs a lot more: groceries, heating, and housing.
The Prime Minister would like us to believe that he has nothing to do with it, but it is precisely his reckless spending that has put us in this situation. Even his former finance minister Bill Morneau said so recently.
Can he face the truth and admit that he is doing immense damage to the Canadian economy?

Mr. Speaker, we do not need to spend more, we need to spend better.
According to the Food Price Report, an average family of four will have to pay $1,065 more for groceries in 2023. Canadian families are already struggling to get by. In 2023, more and more families simply will not make it.
Can the government that has been in power for eight years, as I like to keep saying, look Canadians in the eye and tell them they have nothing to complain about?

Mr. Speaker, he is talking about going to the dentist. I am talking about buying groceries.
People are telling us they are struggling, but the Liberals ignore them and keep going. They want to raise taxes.
Each of my colleagues here today has long been sharing in the House some of the awful things that their constituents are going through in their community.
I will repeat my question: Will this Prime Minister and his government cancel their carbon tax plan?

Mr. Speaker, some people do not know how they are going to pay for groceries on the weekend, nor whether they can pay for heating. Students have to sleep in shelters, and workers have to use food banks, which 1.5 million Canadians turned to in a single month. Can the Liberal government look Canadians in the eye and tell them in all sincerity that the carbon tax is good for them?

Mr. Speaker, Liberal inflation hurts. We learned that the proportion of Quebeckers experiencing food insecurity has doubled. It is currently 15%. These are people who have jobs but are worried about not being able to afford groceries at the end of the week, people who are skipping meals and using food banks. That is happening here in Canada, a G7 country.
All of my Conservative colleagues have been asking the same question for a long time. Will the Liberal government cancel its plan to raise taxes? It is a simple question.

Mr. Speaker, the cost of groceries increased by almost 10% in April. It was the fifth month in a row that food prices had increased by more than 5%. The cost of gas was more than $2 per litre. In the greater Quebec City area, house prices have increased by 21% over the past year.
With wage increases averaging about 3%, people are struggling to get by. Can the Minister of Finance offer Canadians some real answers?

Mr. Speaker, Canada is experiencing the sharpest rise in inflation it has seen in the past three decades. Unfortunately, wages are not keeping up, and households are struggling to keep their heads above water.
Nearly three-quarters of Quebeckers think inflation is a serious problem. What does this government say? It says it is a global problem.
What does the Prime Minister have to say to families who are faced with agonizing choices like whether to buy groceries or pay the rent?

Mr. Speaker, he could at least have the decency to answer the question.
The NDP-Liberal party has no idea of what our constituents are going through. We meet with them every weekend. What do they talk to us about? They talk about groceries, which now cost an additional $1,000, and houses, which cost an average of $868,000.
When will the government do something? The budget is coming, so it is time to do something.
