Mr. Speaker, the minister says that the Conservatives would leave Canadians to their own devices, but housing prices have doubled.
In fact, when the Prime Minister came to power, the average Canadian could pay for their housing with 32% of their paycheque. Now that cost eats up 50% of their paycheque. The price of food is rising faster than it has in the past 40 years. Canadians have no more to give, but the government wants to raise payroll taxes as well as gasoline and heating taxes.
Will the government stop these tax increases so that Canadians can pay their bills?
