Madam Speaker, as I have been listening to the debate today, I have heard a lot of stories of Canadians who are struggling.
A woman just reached out to me on my social media. She does not even live in my riding. Her name is Sarah. She says that she and her husband both work outside the home. They live paycheque to paycheque. They are embarrassed to admit that they have had to ask their parents for money to help pay bills.
They have to choose whether they will pay for food or home heating this month. They have to decide whether they will pay for power or water or what the least expensive sport is to put their kids in so they can have fun and learn a skill and a team sport.
How does the hon. member justify increased payroll taxes and the tripling of the carbon tax when it is burdening Canadians?
