Mr. Speaker, I do not think I can use the word “drought” as an explanation to the Stoney Creek Community Food Bank. Yesterday, it told me that in the last two months, 40% of the people who needed help were children.
Food prices have risen nearly 40% faster in Canada than in the U.S. The Liberals had a chance to lower food costs for Canadians by scrapping the fuel tax, but they chose to keep it. It will cost Canadian families up to 17¢ more per litre when they fill their gas tanks.
I will ask this again: Why is the Prime Minister keeping the fuel tax and making food more expensive?
