Mr. Speaker, the Liberals like to blame everyone else for rising food prices, but it is their own policies here at home that are driving prices up. Canada now has the highest food inflation in the G7. Instead of helping, the Liberals are now adding new fuel costs, which will rise from 7¢ to 17¢ a litre. For every new tax that increases the cost of planting, harvesting and transporting food, farmers cannot absorb them and consumers cannot afford them.
Please, Mr. Prime Minister, flip-flop again. Scrap these costly policies and finally show some mercy to the hard-working Canadian families and the farmers who feed them.
