Mr. Speaker, under the Liberal government, everything is costing more, especially food. New food inflation data shows prices in Atlantic Canada are climbing faster than the national average, and in Newfoundland and Labrador, people are under tremendous pressure. Our province already has the highest unemployment rate in the country, yet families are being hit again at the grocery store. Beef is up 14%, sugar is up 9% and meat is up 6%. Runaway Liberal spending is fuelling inflation, and every dollar Liberals waste makes life harder.
When will the government stop the reckless spending and start making life affordable for the people of Newfoundland and Labrador?
