Madam Speaker, I go out and talk to my constituents.
I had a senior couple reach out to my office. During the pandemic, the government told everyone to take CERB money, saying, “Just take the money. We will deal with the issues afterwards.” This senior couple did not really know what they were doing, but they took the money. Once the government decided to claw that money back because it was not appropriate in this family's case, it impoverished the family. It sent them to the food bank. They called my office and said, “Mr. Lloyd, we have eaten nothing but bread for three months.”
That is the record under the NDP-Liberal government. People cannot even get the nutrition that they need. We are seeing malnutrition in children on the rise. We are seeing scurvy make a comeback. The Liberals are standing up in this House and telling Canadians that they have never had it so good. It reminds me a quote from Marie Antoinette, “Let them eat cake.” That is what they say every day in the House.
