Mr. Speaker, last week, across Kamloops—Shuswap—Central Rockies, there was overwhelming attendance at cenotaphs and community gatherings honouring the service and sacrifices, past and present, of Canada's men and women of the Canadian Forces. The record attendance demonstrated that we will remember them, not just on November 11, but always.
In connecting with people last week, I also heard their challenges in facing increasing costs in everything from groceries to housing and simply getting to work. Canadians face challenges because the government refuses to balance affordable taxation with efficient delivery of services. People repeatedly shared that they are not seeing balances, because they are sending more in tax dollars and receiving less in service.
Budget 2025 was a chance to rebalance the fiscal scale. Instead, the costly credit card budget is increasing debt burdens for present and future generations. My Conservative colleagues and I will continue to fight for the balance that Canadians need and deserve.
