Mr. Speaker, the member and the Prime Minister are trying to provoke a costly election on their costly budget. They are again playing costly games.
This is not about games; this is about the people lining up at food banks, the 2.2 million of them. That number has doubled since the government took office 10 years ago. It's about Jaclyn Stone, who says, “It’s heartbreaking. It’s hard.... It was just [tough] making ends meet.” She says that she feels embarrassed and disheartened to turn back items when she is at the checkout and her bank account goes empty.
Will the government reverse course and bring in an affordable budget so that people like Jaclyn can have an affordable life?
