“Canadians are skipping meals because groceries cost too much. I want to know how the government will make life more affordable.”

“Madam Speaker, how can a G7 country brag when families are cutting back on groceries and skipping meals just to make ends meet? The Dalhousie University report states in no uncertain terms that Canadians are buying what they can afford, not what they need to eat. It is always the same old story with the Liberals, the same old tune on repeat. They pull out the credit card and spend without a second thought, and the bill always ends up on Canadians’ plates. How are the Liberals going to make life more affordable for Canadians?”

“Life is getting too expensive because of Liberal spending. Groceries cost more, people have more debt, and more Canadians need food banks. The government cannot say that everything is fine.”

“Madam Speaker, with all due respect to my colleague, she is taking us for fools. I hope I do not look like a puppet. Canadians are not stupid. Everything the Liberals are doing is going on the credit card. The reality on the ground is clear. Groceries are getting more and more expensive, household debt is rising and food banks across the country are overwhelmed. How can the Liberal government claim that everything is fine when more and more people are having to cut back on food and turn to food banks to put food on the table?”
