Mr. Speaker, this government's policies have forced the Bank of Canada to increase the interest rate 10 times, with devastating effects. Here is the latest example. Approximately 20% of mortgages at the country's big banks are in negative amortization. What does that mean? It means that people's monthly payments are not enough to cover the interest. The unpaid interest is growing and being added to the balance. These loans will never be paid off. When will the Liberals put an end to their inflationary deficits so that interest rates will drop and Canadians are able to stay in their homes?

Mr. Speaker, this Prime Minister is running deficits like there is no tomorrow and that has driven up inflation. Inflation prompted the Bank of Canada to raise interest rates nine times over the past year. Homeowners who are making mortgage payments know all about it. The International Monetary Fund has warned Canada: The country is at risk of defaulting on its payments. That is where we are. It is very unfortunate, but that is how it is. Will the Prime Minister stop with his inflationary deficits?

Mr. Speaker, everything is getting more expensive. Successive interest rate hikes have doubled mortgage payments in Canada. One family in four will have to pay $1,065 more for groceries this year. The cost of heating, energy, food and even alcohol will continue to increase with this government. After eight years, this Prime Minister's policies are only making things worse. Will the Prime Minister commit to no new taxes in tomorrow's budget, yes or no?

Madam Speaker, we are definitely not living in the same reality. Families are struggling and they are being forced to use their credit cards more and more to stay afloat and meet their basic needs. A recent Equifax study shows that the average credit card balance has reached a record high in Canada. Over half of Canadians polled said that they were concerned about their level of personal debt. They need to catch their breath. Will the Prime Minister listen to them and not increase taxes in 2023?

Madam Speaker, everything costs more. The cost of food has gone up 10% and the cost of housing has doubled since the Prime Minister took office. Diesel fuel now costs over $2.50 a litre in Quebec. Rather than helping families, the government wants to take more money from workers' pay cheques. The only thing we are asking the government to do is to not increase taxes. Will it do that in 2023?

Madam Speaker, a new Ipsos poll confirms how out of touch the NDP-Liberal government is with the reality of Canadian workers. We are in an affordability crisis. Canadians want a budget that addresses the high cost of living, not an ideological platform with higher taxes on basic necessities like food, transportation and heating. There was a time when Liberals like Jean Charest—oops, I meant to say Jean Chrétien— Some hon. members: Oh, oh! Mr. Bernard Généreux: That is the first time his name has been mentioned in the House, Madam Speaker. I was talking about Jean Chrétien. We have known Liberals like Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin who governed responsibly. What happened to the Liberal Party?
