“The budget gives $36 billion in tax breaks to big corporations, but rising food prices will wipe out the small grocery benefit for regular people. I want the Prime Minister to use that $36 billion to build public grocery stores to lower prices.”
“Mr. Speaker, what we are is award-winning. Not only are the Liberals selling airports and our public assets, but Christmas came early for billionaires and corporate executives. Budget 2026 delivers $36 billion in mega deductions for corporations, but there is no mega deduction for everyday people. The temporary groceries benefit will quickly be swallowed up by rising food prices. Instead of gifting corporations $36 billion in mega deductions, will the Prime Minister redirect those resources to build a network of public grocery stores to introduce competition and bring down prices?”
