Mr. Speaker, just to correct the record, we are asking for assistance to consumers. I just want to get that on the record.
Statistics Canada reported that 75% of Canadians are being impacted negatively by the ever-increasing cost of living. Food costs are up. Housing costs are up. Fuel is up. When the government had the opportunity to provide relief from the pumps, it turned it down.
Where is the help from the government for Canadians who are struggling with the dramatic increase in the cost of living today?
