Madam Speaker, my colleague is a strong representative for his constituency. However, we are talking about the cost of living and grocery prices. One of the things I think about when I think about the cost of living is the horrendous history we have in this country from when Stephen Harper was Prime Minister and the cuts he made to all of those services Canadians depend upon.
The Conservatives like to talk about tax cuts, but we know that tax cuts actually do not help the very poorest and most vulnerable within our community. These are things such as support for health care to help those people and a dental care program, for example. Harper and the Conservatives cut $43 billion from health care when they were in power. They cut EI. They cut the social programs that Canadians depend upon. They have no interest in protecting those who are most vulnerable.
Even today, when I asked his colleague if he had another suggestion besides this obsession with the carbon tax, if he had any other solution on reducing grocery prices, he said that he was not going to answer that question. That is because he does not have an answer. Does this member have an answer for that?
