Mr. Speaker, the fact is that food prices are rising because the Liberal government is the most expensive in Canadian history. Every time the Prime Minister sticks his hand in the pockets of Canadians, he drives up the price of everything. We are seeing that the Liberals' own imaginary taxes, such as the fuel tax and an increase to the industrial carbon tax, are making everything more expensive and driving up the cost to grow the food, move the food and buy the food. This is at a time when food inflation in Canada is 40% higher than it is in the United States.
Why is the Prime Minister so intent on forcing Canadians to food banks by increasing his taxes on food and fuel?
