Mr. Speaker, while Canadians are tightening their belts, the government is spending recklessly. It is adding $90 billion in spending. That is an extra $5,400 per household. According to Professor Charlebois, the gap between wholesale food prices in Canada and the United States has widened, and the industrial carbon tax is a major factor. Canada is the only G7 country to have experienced four consecutive months of rising food inflation.
Why is the Prime Minister increasing the industrial carbon tax, which is already making food much more expensive for all Canadians?
