Madam Speaker, I will stand up for my community on how crime is increasing and how people cannot afford to feed themselves. Maybe it does sound repetitive sometimes, but those are the issues that are important to people in my community and to Canadians.
As I mentioned in my intervention, crime is up. Yes, we say all the time that food bank use is up, but guess what? Reports just came out again over the last week or so that as we go into Christmas, food banks are expecting increases again. Yes, these are things we talk about all the time, but they are issues that are important to members of my community, and things are not getting better. The results of this government, of this NDP government, keep leading to costs going up. If things are getting better, then why does food bank use keep going up?
Here we have a government that is looking to increase taxes again on April 1. The carbon tax is going up 19%, which is going to make the cost of everything go up again, and yet the Liberals continue going down this path. Yes, we keep talking about some of the same issues, but it is about the failures of this government, which keeps on the same path. The government has not changed its policies and keeps going in the same direction, which is crushing Canadians' bank accounts.
