Mr. Speaker, while families in Kitchener are increasingly using food banks at alarming rates, the government had a chance to lower food prices by scrapping the fuel standard tax. Instead it chose to increase it by another 17ยข. This increases the cost of things like coffee, which is already up 34%, and beef, which is up 16%.
Why does the Prime Minister seem so determined to drive Canadians into poverty by ignoring skyrocketing food prices while he enjoys a luxury lifestyle hidden from the consequences of his own policies?
