Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the plug for my book. If the member were to read books instead of talking points, the country would be in a better place.
Food prices have risen almost 40% faster in Canada than in the United States. Beef is up 17% and chicken is up 6.2%, and now the Liberals are adding a fuel tax that will make gas 17¢ a litre more expensive. Driving in my riding and in rural Canada is not a luxury; it is a necessity. A tax on gas is a tax on life.
When will the Liberals get real and make life more affordable?
