Mr. Speaker, we keep sounding the alarm, but it feels as though no one on that side is listening.
Families are stretched thin and communities are breaking under the weight of rising costs. One food bank executive said it plainly: Housing and food costs are the greatest contributors to the increase in their services. Costs for basic living continue to rise while the money coming in does not.
When will the government finally hear the voices of Canadians and stop letting hidden taxes, packaging taxes and the industrial carbon tax drive families to the food bank?
