“The Prime Minister says our economy is growing faster, but the numbers show it is not. Canadians are struggling to pay their bills. I want the Prime Minister to admit that there is a cost-of-living crisis.”

“Mr. Speaker, on August 22, the Liberal Prime Minister, in yet another of his speeches, boasted that our growth is accelerating. Is that so? The Parliamentary Budget Officer has just set the record straight. Growth is only at 0.9% in 2026. Unemployment stands at 6.7% and inflation at 3.1%. While the Liberal Prime Minister spouts pretty words and makes the wrong predictions, Canadians are working hard, tightening their belts and struggling to pay their bills. Will he finally acknowledge the serious cost-of-living crisis, after 11 years of Liberal rule, or will he once again show us just how out of touch he is?”

“More Canadians are using food banks and cannot pay for groceries. Canadian families are cutting back and going without just to pay their bills. I want the government to admit that Canada is facing a serious cost of living crisis.”

“Mr. Speaker, the problem is that every time the Liberals announce a new measure, more and more Canadians turn to food banks, and more and more Canadians are unable to pay their grocery bills. That is the reality. The Liberals may claim they are doing a lot, but the reality on the ground suggests that they are out of touch with what is happening. People can no longer make ends meet. For Canadian families, the discipline the finance minister was talking about means going without, cutting back on groceries, and putting off purchases to pay the bills. Will they at least acknowledge after question period that Canada is facing a serious cost of living crisis?”
