Madam Chair, I would like to ask the following question on behalf of the families, seniors and the poor who are grappling with an increase in the cost of gas and groceries, the likes of which we have not often seen in the past 30 years in Canada, an increase that for the most part stems from the government's decisions.
What will be different in the upcoming budget, in the $17.4 billion that the government has put on the table, that will ensure that the rise in the cost of living for families decreases and will bring it back down to 2%, which would be reasonable?
