Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, after eight years with this Bloc Québécois-backed government in power, parents are struggling. They have to cut back on everything, including meeting their children's needs. I do not know why people on the other side are laughing; there is nothing funny about what I am saying.

Carbon Tax  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of this government, Quebec has had the highest inflation in the country for four months running. Food banks are experiencing historic increases in demand. Some 872,000 people are accessing them every month. Assistance provided by Quebec food banks has increased by 30% since 2002.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the carbon tax, which is pushing up the price of everything and which the Bloc Québécois wants to radically increase, is making Quebeckers poorer. After eight years of this government, a young retiree has had to go back to work to pay her heating and grocery bills.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, things are so bad in our beautiful Canada that retired seniors have to go back to work to cover basic needs such as food and home heating. It is shameful. That is the reality after eight years of this Liberal government that is supported by the Bloc Québécois. Quebec was the province most affected by inflation for the fourth month in a row.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, of all the provinces, Quebec is the one most affected by inflation. Quebeckers are spending 23% more for their groceries. Food banks are swamped with people no longer able to afford supermarket prices, but this is a matter of utter indifference to this government and to the Bloc Québécois, which wants to drastically increase the tax.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of bad policy, this government continues to fuel inflation with uncontrolled spending. Today, we learned that Quebec has won Canada's inflation game for the fourth month in a row. Groceries, housing, gasoline, everything costs more, courtesy of the Liberals, backed by the Bloc Québécois.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, eight years of Liberal inflationary policies have driven Quebeckers further into debt. Young people fear they will never be able to buy a house. Some are even experiencing financial anxiety. Despite that, the Liberals and the Bloc Québécois are adding a second carbon tax.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals' inflationary taxes, supported by the Bloc Québécois, are having a very serious impact. According to a recent poll, 46% of consumers are buying lower quality food because it costs less, and 63% are concerned that those choices are having a negative impact on their health.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, after eight years under this government, Canada is in debt, divided and humiliated. Despite all that, the Bloc Québécois is backing the Liberals on the second carbon tax. It even voted in favour of it on two occasions. Believe it or not, the Bloc Québécois is calling for a radical increase in this tax.

Housing  Mr. Speaker, a recent survey shows that one in two young people are living from paycheque to paycheque, and eight out of 10 young people say they are unable to buy a home. This is where eight years of a Liberal government have led us, and the Bloc is complicit with the Liberals, whose carbon tax increases are driving up the cost of everything we buy.

Presence in Gallery  Mr. Speaker, I have a point of order. The carbon tax came up during question period. I think I demonstrated that the carbon tax applies in Quebec. I have supporting evidence. I ask for the unanimous consent of the House to table this bill received by a young—

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the finance minister said that she would not pour fuel on the fire of inflation. She added $44 billion in new spending in the 2023 budget, throwing a return to balanced budgets out the window. Now we have the Bloc Québécois trying to convince people that the carbon tax does not apply in Quebec.

Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of this government, everything feels broken. The NDP-Liberal coalition has made life impossible for many Canadians. Groceries, housing—everything is expensive, and the half-measures proposed by this government will make no difference whatsoever. Canadians do not need out-of-touch, insensitive politicians who do not care about their everyday concerns and struggles.

Questions on the Order Paper  With regard to the $25 million announced in budget 2022 for the Menstrual Equity Fund: (a) how much of the $25 million has been spent to date; (b) what is the breakdown of spending by province and territory; (c) what is the breakdown of spending to date, by line item and type of expenditure; and (d) what are the details for all funding recipients to date, including, for each the (i) date, (ii) amount, (iii) recipient, (iv) location?

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, for weeks we have been asking for a public inquiry into foreign interference in the affairs of our country. The many stories that have been made public are worrisome. For example, members of the House and their families have been victims of an intimidation campaign.
