Replying to Tako Van Popta (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, while the high-flying Prime Minister is racking up a $1-million debt for luxury inflight catering, many Canadians are struggling just to put food on the table. There were 2.2 million Canadians who went to a food bank in one month last year alone, but the Prime Minister is living the high life, even though he is leading the only G20 country into a recession. Will the Prime Minister reverse his failed policies that are causing this food affordability crisis so that Canadians can afford to live again?”
