The Economy

“More and more people in my area cannot afford food, and charities are having to turn families away. The government's expensive policies caused this. I want the Prime Minister to help Canadians afford food and pay their bills.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, food insecurity is a very real problem. In my region of Chaudière–Appalaches, demand is skyrocketing. One food aid organization has seen a 66% surge in visitors in just three years. The situation is so critical that some organizations will soon have to tighten up their eligibility criteria and, unfortunately, turn away families and requests for help. As we know, the increase in demand is caused by this government’s costly policies. When will the Liberal Prime Minister finally help Canadians pay their bills and feed their families properly?

Finance

“The government is collecting record gas taxes and oil revenues. Instead of helping Canadians, they are giving that money to their friends. I want to know when the Prime Minister will stop overspending.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, the truth is that the Liberal government is collecting record taxes on gas and profiting from oil revenues. However, rather than easing the pressure on Canadians’ wallets, that money seems to be disappearing into the pockets of Liberal insiders. When will the Prime Minister stop treating the national budget like a credit card with no limit?

“Canadians are cutting back on food while the Prime Minister spent $524,000 on airplane meals and raised grocery bills with his fuel tax. I want him to explain how he can talk to Canadians about rising costs.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, while Quebeckers are cutting back on their groceries to make ends meet, we found out that the Prime Minister spent a cool $524,000 on food aboard his plane. How can the Prime Minister still look Canadians in the eye and talk to them about inflation when he spends the equivalent of several years of a family’s wages on a single flight, while adding to their grocery bills with his fuel tax?

Finance

“The Prime Minister borrows too much money. Economists warn that our national debt is getting dangerous. Canada has the worst food price increases in the G7. I want to know why the government keeps using policies that make gas, food, and housing more expensive.”

  • A repeated line

    “We have the worst food inflation in the G7.”

    Said 4 times by 3 members since April 23.

    Every time it was said
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, it is the way they have chosen to do it that is not right. The Prime Minister is following the same borrowing policies as his predecessor. Economists are sounding the alarm. Without measures to boost productivity, the weight of the debt relative to the economy will rise to a breaking point. We already have the worst food inflation in the G7. Why are the Liberals stubbornly following this path that is forcing Canadians to pay more for gas, groceries and housing?

“The Prime Minister is spending too much money and doubling the deficit. This makes life harder for Canadians. I want him to stop these costly budgets.”

  • A repeated line

    “When will the Prime Minister put an end to his costly budgets so that Canadians can make ends meet?”

    Said 3 times by 2 members since April 27.

    Every time it was said
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are carrying on with their decade of costly budgets, which, of course, are being charged to the credit card. This Prime Minister has doubled the deficit left by former Prime Minister Trudeau. Who would have thought? The Globe and Mail condemns this upside-down land where this government’s spending spree is considered prudent. The Liberals are spending more, but Canadians have less. When will the Prime Minister put an end to his costly budgets so that Canadians can make ends meet?

“Seniors do not have enough money to retire, especially with rising grocery prices. The Prime Minister's overspending causes this. When will he stop his irresponsible budgets?”

  • A repeated line

    “When will the Prime Minister put an end to his costly budgets so that Canadians can make ends meet?”

    Said 3 times by 2 members since April 27.

    Every time it was said
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, Le Journal de Montréal reported that over half of Quebeckers aged 50 and over are worried about running out of money during their retirement. That is what they said. Johanne Boissonnault said that after working her entire life, she now has to get by on $1,960 a month. As we all know, that is not enough to live with dignity anymore. While the Prime Minister keeps using our credit card to ramp up his deficits, our seniors are paying the price, especially at the grocery store. When will the Prime Minister put an end to his irresponsible budgets so that Canadians can make ends meet?

Michel Garant

“I want to honour Michel Garant, who died recently. He was a skilled builder who restored heritage buildings. After an accident left him paralyzed, he became a paracyclist, raised money for charity, and helped people with disabilities in our community. I send my condolences to his family.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, today I want to pay tribute to Michel Garant, a Lévis resident originally from Saint‑Lazare‑de‑Bellechasse who died much too soon on March 20 at the age of 68. As a building contractor, he made his mark by delivering superior workmanship, particularly while contributing to the restoration of heritage buildings across Quebec. Following an accident in 2004 that left him a paraplegic, Mr. Garant showed remarkable resilience. He became actively involved in his community as a paracyclist, completing a cross-Canada tour to help the organization Fondation MIRA and launching the Pédal-Don fundraising initiative. Through his involvement with the Association des personnes handicapées de Bellechasse, he became an inspiration to many. He was also a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. He leaves an incredible legacy. I offer my sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.
