Mr. Speaker, after 11 years of the Liberal government, the cost of living crisis is crushing young Canadians and seniors alike.
An RBC poll shows that 64% of millennials are anxious about their future, and 57% have nothing left at month's end. Four in 10 fear that they will never escape their debts. TransUnion Canada reports that household debts have surged to a record $2.6 trillion, driven largely by mortgages as families take on staggering debt just to keep a roof overhead.
Today, the Financial Post reported that only 41% believe they will have enough to retire, with most worried they will not have enough savings to live securely.
Seniors in the communities in my riding are asking how they are supposed to survive with the ever-escalating costs of groceries and everything else.
When will the Liberals rein in their inflationary deficits, lower costs and restore an economy where Canadians can finally get ahead?
