Mr. Speaker, the reality on the ground is that food prices have skyrocketed.
This week, Ms. Ouellet wrote to me that her grocery bill is higher than her mortgage payment. Ms. Vallée told me that she no longer eats meat so that she can stay within her budget. Mr. Hardy has noticed that people are regularly choosing pop and chips as a meal so they can pay their rent at the end of the month.
Can the Prime Minister come down from his ivory tower and finally acknowledge the reality that Canadian families are facing?
