Mr. Speaker, a single mother with two children who earns $40,000 a year at a time when the annual inflation rate is 4.8% will pay about $200 a week for groceries. That is $10 more every week, which totals $520 at the end of the year.
If we look at what she earns in a year, we see that she loses an entire paycheque to cover this additional cost.
Comparing our situation to that of any other countries does not give a single cent more to this mother, who is struggling to feed her children.
When will they stop making Canadians poorer?
