Mr. Speaker, I would say to the Hamilton steelworker and the workers of Arvin Avenue, who lose sleep over job security, and to the recently unemployed, that they have done everything right. The Prime Minister cannot make a deal and has failed them.
I would say to the many who visit food banks in Hamilton that they have done everything right. The Liberal inflation food tax has failed them.
I would say to the many who do not feel safe walking down the street in their own neighbourhoods that they have done everything right. The Liberals' soft-on-crime policy has failed them.
The Liberals had the chance last week to vote for a Conservative motion that would put violent repeat offenders behind bars. They voted against it. Soon we will have a vote on the Conservative jail not bail act. I hope the Liberals will join us in that vote. Today, we will vote on a Conservative motion to lower food inflation. Will the Liberals do the right thing and vote with us and Canadians ?
