Mr. Speaker, in A Christmas Carol, Dickens wrote, “Many thousands are in want of common necessaries; hundreds of thousands are in want of common comforts”. Under the Liberals, it is millions who are in need. My constituent Enide says,“I can barely afford to eat, a lot of people are in the same situation and feel helpless.”
In 2015 the Canadian grocery bill was $159 a week. After a decade of Liberal government it has doubled to $338 a week, which is $17,500 a year. The Prime Minister told us to judge him by Canadians' experience at the grocery store.
Scrooge famously said, “I don't make merry myself at Christmas, and I can't afford to make idle people merry.” Why does that seem to be like a quote from the Prime Minister?
