Mr. Speaker, today Feed Ontario released its annual hunger report. Over one million Ontarians had to access the food bank in the last year. That is more than double the number from the last four years.
Every day, more Canadians struggle to afford food because of the actions of the Prime Minister. Higher prices are the official policy of the Liberal Party. The Liberals plan to quadruple the carbon tax by 2030 to 61¢ a litre on gas. They want to ban 95% of plastic food packaging.
When Liberals tax the farmer who grows the food and the trucker who ships the food, then ban the packaging of food, higher prices are the only result. Canadians need to know that this is the Liberal policy. If people cannot afford to go to the grocery store, they emit less carbon. If people cannot afford the price of beef, they emit less carbon.
Canadians cannot afford the Prime Minister. That is why we need a carbon tax election now.
