Dominique Vien Conservative
“Rents and food prices have gone up too much. I want the government to stop spending so much money and fix the high cost of living right now.”
“Mr. Speaker, this government’s housing and inflation crisis is tearing families apart. Rents have jumped 3.6% in one year. Since 2021, there has been a 31% increase. Today, food insecurity is so severe that some Canadians have to spend 120% of their income just to put food on the table or pay for housing. When is this Liberal government going to put an end to its costly, out-of-control budgets and finally take the cost-of-living crisis seriously? Now would be best.”
