Mr. Speaker, the current Liberal government is the most expensive in Canadian history. Every dollar the Prime Minister spends is driving up the cost of everything and is paid for by hard-working Canadians. According to the latest data, year over year, the price of chicken is up 6%. Seafood is up 8%, infant formula is up 6% and beef is up a staggering 17%. Food prices are now rising 40% faster in Canada than in the United States.
However, instead of scrapping the industrial carbon tax and making life affordable, the Liberals doubled down, hiking the tax on farmers and producers, driving up the cost of farm equipment and fertilizer.
When will the Liberal Prime Minister finally end his punishing industrial carbon tax so Canadians can afford to put food on the table again?
