Mr. Speaker, I think the most important part right now is to focus on our farmers. Giving people a tax rebate, for example, is not a great solution, because it makes our food more expensive. It is not a food affordability plan.
We followed a pound of potatoes from a local farmer and saw where the costs were added. Instead of removing these costs, the government borrows billions to send some of that money back, which adds to inflation and makes the next potato even more expensive.
Canadians require relief, but what they need is food costs to be less every week. A good solution would be to remove the hidden taxes that are making their lives less affordable, the solution found in today's Conservative motion.
