Mr. Speaker, Liberals measure success by how many tax dollars are spent. They say that the number in today's budget is what matters, yet Canadians know why more debt financing is being offered. Liberal policies have failed to build, empower or protect our country.
Conservatives are calling for an affordable budget for affordable lives. We want affordable lives for the one in five Canadian food bank users who work hard but cannot afford to feed themselves. We want affordable lives for seniors who are being crushed by higher prices because of the industrial carbon tax and the food packaging tax. We want affordable lives for parents who are forced to spend $800 more this year on food, compared to last year.
The Prime Minister said to judge him by the prices at the grocery store. Canadians have judged. They want no more of the same. They want change.
