“People cannot afford food after 11 years of this government. One in three Canadians is skipping meals, and food bank visits in my area are way up. Will the government's budget cut taxes to help struggling Canadians?”

“Mr. Speaker, after 11 years of Liberal government, food affordability continues to get worse. A recent Salvation Army report found that one in three Canadians is skipping meals. In Niagara Falls, visits to Project Share increased by 23.7%, while visits to Newark Neighbours in Niagara-on-the-Lake have doubled since 2022. Will the Liberal government’s budget deliver tax cuts to help Canadians who are struggling right now?”

“More families are going hungry because they cannot afford food. I want the government to spend less money and cut taxes instead of bringing in another costly budget.”

“Mr. Speaker, my team and I recently volunteered at the North York Harvest Food Bank. We witnessed first-hand the growing hardship facing Canadian families. One in four food bank clients is a child, and 53% of clients have skipped meals to afford other necessities. The Salvation Army reports that 31% of Canadians are skipping or reducing meals, because they simply cannot afford groceries. Will the Liberal government finally get its spending under control and cut taxes, instead of forcing struggling families to pay the price for another unaffordable budget as its programs are not working?”
