Mr. Speaker, I am going to put this in terms of everyday Canadians. In fact, in the last Conservative government, food did not cost this much. Housing was half the cost. We did not have an inflationary crisis. It was former prime minister Stephen Harper in the last Conservative government who got us through a global financial crisis and made sure inflation did not go up. It is the incompetent Liberal government that has ended up spending more than any other government before it and has given Canadians an inflationary crisis, which has led to the most rapid interest rate hikes in Canadian history.
What do we see today? We see more Canadians lined up at food banks than ever before. There are 2.2 million Canadians, 700,000 of whom are children. Now mortgage delinquencies are going up because Canadians who are renewing their mortgage are seeing that their rates have almost doubled. This is because the government cannot control itself from spending Canadian taxpayers' money out of control.
