Mr. Speaker, Canadians across the country are suffering from punishing high costs of daily essentials, such as food, housing and utilities. Grocery prices are sky-high, and rent is completely unaffordable, yet today's inflation numbers show the problem is getting worse, with food up 4%; rent is up 4.8% and 9.6% in Quebec.
Under the Liberals, life keeps getting harder for workers and their families. When will the government take the affordability crisis seriously, admit its policies are not working and take effective action to help?
