Cheryl Gallant Conservative
“The member has confused me with someone else. I never set foot in this House before I was elected. I have a right to speak for the people I represent. They cannot afford to live, and they dread going to the grocery store. I am here to tell the government that people need lower prices.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. colleague for his comments, but I did not enter the chamber or the House of Commons at all in my life before I became a member of Parliament. Unfortunately, he must have me confused with someone else. I have the right to speak on behalf of the people I represent, and they are telling me they cannot afford to live. The grocery store is almost out of bounds. It used to be a place to socialize, but now it is a place they dread. I believe that my speaking on behalf of the people who are trying to get the message that they need more affordable prices to government is duly acceptable.”
