“Food bank use in Toronto is up 333% since 2019, so government programs are not working. The government has not answered my questions about cutting gas taxes or keeping tax dollars in Canada. Will the budget have anything to help Canadians save money?”
“Mr. Speaker, if any of those programs worked, then food bank use in Toronto would not be up 333% since 2019. On Monday, I asked if the government would cut taxes on gas. There was no answer. On Tuesday, I asked whether Canadian tax dollars would stay here instead of going to Europe. There was no answer. The government has an affordability problem and it looks like it does not care. Once more, will the budget offer anything, one word, one sentence, to help save Canadians money?”
