Mr. Speaker, this does come down to the heart of the issue, which is that Canadian families are struggling. It is getting harder and harder to make ends meet. No one in the House can disagree with that. Over two million people are going to food banks each month. It is harder, and it is harder than it has been for years.
When we talk about the families, when we do door knocking on the doorsteps in our community, the first thing that comes up is the affordability issue. My dad always said that, if we take care of the pennies, the dimes will look after themselves. The government has just spent way too much money, and it is coming out of the pockets of Canadians.
That is why we need to have a carbon tax election, so they can have their say, and see if they want to continue on the path they are on, or continue down a path with the common-sense Conservatives, who are going to put more money back in their pockets.
