Mr. Speaker, the grocery inflation crisis is tearing apart families and tearing apart our communities. I received a letter from a senior citizen in Cambridge whose son had to move back home because he could not afford the cost of living. He wants to get married but cannot even move out of his mom's home to buy his own, start a family, have children and be able to feed them.
With the cost of lettuce up 40%, beef up nearly 30% and canned vegetables up over 10%, there is simply no money left for anything else in life. The government has been all sizzle and no steak when it comes to food affordability.
When will the Liberal government stop with the empty words and start cooking up some real solutions to bring down the price of groceries?
