Dominique Vien Conservative
“Thanksgiving dinner will cost 10% more this year, making family meals too expensive for many people. Our motion addresses the high cost of groceries. Will the government admit that Canada is in a cost-of-living crisis after 11 years of Liberal rule?”
“Mr. Speaker, next week, families will gather to celebrate Thanksgiving. However, according to studies, the cost of that traditional meal will be 10% higher than it was last year. For far too many Canadians, simply gathering around the table with family is becoming a luxury. That is why our party has brought forward a motion, which is being debated today, to recognize the reality that these families face every time they go to the grocery store. Does the government acknowledge that, after 11 years of Liberal rule, Canada is officially in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis?”
