Mr. Speaker, as I was saying earlier, Canadians are very concerned about the cost of food. After 10 years under this Liberal government, people have seen the cost of food double. It now costs $340 per week compared to less than half that 10 years ago.
Meanwhile, people are not paying attention to what is happening on the Hill, but they should be. Why? Because the Liberal government is causing chaos in parliamentary committees. We have to discuss bills and advance democracy, but ministers are failing to show up and committee meetings are being cancelled at the last minute. This is the government playing political games. Another such incident happened just this morning. The meeting of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights was cancelled at the last minute. On the agenda was a clause-by-clause study of a regulation.
This week, my question for the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons is this: Can he assure us that the government will stop playing anti-democratic political games and that committee meetings will be held as scheduled next week without last-minute cancellations? Can he also tell us what the plan is for tomorrow and next week in the House?
