Mr. Speaker, reality is sinking in for all Canadian families, from the most vulnerable to the wealthiest.
Inflation has a real, direct impact on grocery bills for the most vulnerable families. Their grocery bills are now $1,000 higher than they were last year because of the 4.8% rate of inflation. Inflation has not been this high in 30 years.
The government claims that this is no big deal and that the rest of the world is experiencing the same thing. No, Canada is suffering because the government is out of control and has gone on a spending spree.
When will the government act sensibly and responsibly and rein in its spending?
