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, the Conservative Party saw the economic storm coming and often warned the Liberals. However, poor managers that they are, they continue to spend recklessly. Just consider the ArriveCAN app, which gobbled up $54 million, and the the purchase of twice the number of medical ventilators required, which cost taxpayers $403 million for nothing. Families are struggling. Workers are going to food banks. Young people are camping out in their parents' basements. Will the Liberals come to their senses and cancel tax increases?

Mr. Speaker, according to a recent poll, 85% of Quebeckers have had to change their habits to deal with the rising cost of living in 2022. They are reducing their outings, choosing house brands or putting off renovations. They are struggling to keep their heads above water. Instead of helping them, this government wants to deduct more money from their paycheques. Will the Prime Minister commit today to cancel his planned tax increase?

Madam Speaker, the reality is that this government is going to take even more money out of Canadians' paycheques. People are drowning. Everything is so expensive. House prices have gone up 21% in the Quebec City region alone. A pound of butter, from a well-known brand in Quebec, now retails for $8.49. Instead of showing contempt for citizens who are struggling to get by, will the government commit to cancelling its plan to raise taxes?

Mr. Speaker, it is not news to my colleagues that the cost of living has now made things so difficult that more and more Canadians are living paycheque to paycheque. The Conservatives have made concrete suggestions to give them a bit of relief: Cancel the January 1 tax increase and above all cancel the carbon tax that the government wants to triple. What is the government doing? It refuses to listen. Is it too much to ask this government and the Prime Minister of Canada to please listen and be compassionate?

Mr. Speaker, the riding I represent stretches from the St. Lawrence River to the American border. A very large part of it is rural. With the high cost of gas, it is very expensive for my constituents who have to drive to work, do errands or access health care. To help these people, the Prime Minister needs to do just one thing: Cancel the planned tax hike on gas and paycheques. Does he have the guts to do that?

Mr. Speaker, according to the National Payroll Institute, 85% of Canadians are worried about inflation and rising interest rates. Furthermore, 37% of them are living from paycheque to paycheque and have to spend everything they earn or even more than they earn. Things are starting to look bad. This government could not care less. It is not interested in coming up with a concrete plan to help these people. Once and for all, will the government pledge not to raise taxes again?
