Mr. Speaker, “Justinflation” is hurting small businesses in my riding. Chin Ridge Seeds is a birdseed producer in Taber, Alberta, that relies on imported ingredients for their production. The cost of a single truckload of these ingredients went from $6,000 to $19,000 in a few months. Irrigation pipes went up by 30% and they are critical. Don, the owner, told me that they do not need handouts from the government; they just need it to get out of the way. Will the government stop its spending spree, get out of the way and let small businesses prosper in the Bow River riding?
