Mr. Speaker, when Canadians tell the government they cannot afford food, its response is that they are taxed to death and cannot afford groceries but should cheer up: It has a program for them; they should be grateful and have never had it so good.
Eighty-six per cent of Canadians list food as their largest financial worry. The food price report confirms grocery prices are set to increase by up to 6% next year. That is $1,000 more just to feed a family.
The Prime Minister asked to be judged by prices at the grocery store. Well, prices are set to reach historic highs. Will the Prime Minister admit his record is a failure?
