Mr. Speaker, maybe it is a good day for the Prime Minister and his Brookfield buddies, who are dodging their tax bills, but it is a terrible day for the Canadian people, stuck paying record-high grocery bills.
In fact the Prime Minister said he would be judged by prices at the grocery store. Today, Statistics Canada revealed that grocery price inflation is almost double the Bank of Canada's target, rising 40% faster in Canada than in the United States of America, the direct result of the Liberal industrial carbon tax on farmers, of the food packaging tax and of the fuel standard tax.
The Prime Minister puts his budget on the national credit card. Does he expect Canadians to pay for their groceries the same way?
