Mr. Speaker, every dollar the Prime Minister spends comes directly out of Canadians' pockets. The Liberal government's 10th budget delivers the largest deficit outside of the COVID years at $78 billion. It will add more fuel to the inflation fire, and Canadians will continue to struggle to afford groceries. Poverty and food insecurity have risen nearly 40% in just two years, yet the Liberals keep gaslighting Canadians by insisting their hidden taxes on food and fuel are imaginary. Conservatives have put forward real solutions to make life affordable, such as cutting the industrial carbon tax, the food-packaging tax and the fuel standards tax. Instead, the Liberals chose to give tax breaks to elites purchasing private jets and yachts.
My neighbours in Oshawa are clear. They do not want a costly election. They wanted an affordable budget. Conservatives want a hopeful future. For our young people, we want homes, jobs and hope. For our seniors, we want affordability. We want to bring back the promise of Canada.
