Sophie Chatel

Liberal on The Economy 2026-05-29

70 words · 6 sentences · 8 clauses

Replying to Tamara Kronis (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, on World Hunger Day, food security organizations came to the finance committee and told us that more people from more demographics are using food banks more often in Canada. Forty-three per cent of Canadians now say that the cost of groceries severely affects their ability to access food, and food inflation in Canada remains the highest in the G7. The Prime Minister promised to lead, and he did: straight to the only recession in the G7. There are more costs, more taxes and more debt on the national credit card. When is the Prime Minister going to show us that he is not just another Liberal and get serious about reducing the cost of food?”
