Mr. Speaker, the Retail Council of Canada says that record levels of theft from stores took place in 2024: $9.1 billion. The number one item being shoplifted was meat because Canadians cannot afford to put food on their tables. They are resorting to theft to try to feed their families, yet the Liberals say Canadians have never had it so good.
Is that wilful ignorance, honest ignorance or just plain ignorance?
