“Canadians are struggling to afford their homes because of Liberal policies. I want the government to adopt the Conservative plan to cut taxes on food, fuel, and work.”

“Mr. Speaker, Daniel from Dryden shared with me the financial strain he and his family are facing. They are living paycheque to paycheque, and despite working hard and following the rules, it is nearly impossible for them to maintain their home. After 11 years of inflationary Liberal policies, this is the stark reality facing many Canadians, and it is why Conservatives are calling on the Liberals to adopt our economic action plan, which would cut taxes on food, fuel and work, so families can have hope that tomorrow will be better. Will the Liberals adopt our plan so that hard-working Canadians like Daniel can afford to live again?”

“The cost of living is rising, and half of workers spend their whole paycheque just to get by. I want the government to lower taxes so people can afford to live.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are all talk, no results. If their plan were working, we would not be facing an affordability crisis. Now, 63% of Canadian workers say that their biggest financial stress is the cost of living. According to the National Payroll Institute, half of employed Canadians spend all of their net pay or more just to be able to keep up with rising costs. I will ask again, why will the Liberals not adopt our plan to cut taxes so that hard-working Canadians can afford to live?”

“It is harvest time, but high fuel prices are hurting farmers. A single combine can cost more than $1,100 a day for diesel, which is almost double last year's price. Why is the government making farmers pay so much to harvest their crops?”

“Mr. Speaker, harvest is here, right now, this very moment. Combines, tractors and grain trucks are starting up and pulling into the field. It is go time. Hopes and plans come to the test. Will the weather hold? Will there be a breakdown? What will the prices be? Everything is on the line. It is supposed to be a payday, not a pay more day. Diesel prices are at near record levels in Canada. Farmers are facing nearly double what they paid last year. One combine can now cost more than $1,100 a day to fuel. Why is the Liberal government making Canadian farmers pay so much for diesel just to bring in their harvest?”

“Canadian farmers pay 32 cents more per litre for diesel than American farmers, and costs could go higher. Farmers need relief right now. I want the government to use the Conservative plan to cut taxes and lower fuel costs for farmers this harvest.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are out of touch. They are all talk and no results. Canadian farmers are already paying 32¢ a litre more for diesel than Americans are. Now potential restrictions to U.S. exports threaten to drive costs even higher. Conservatives are calling for an immediate action plan for relief on diesel prices; a cut to all federal taxes; a secure, reliable Canadian supply; and the use of every available legal power to get Canadian energy to Canadian consumers. The Liberal government is all talk, no results. Farmers need lower costs. Will the Liberals adopt the Conservative plan to lower fuel costs and save Canadian farmers some money this harvest?”
