Mr. Speaker, Liberals like to blame global pressures, but the policies driving up the cost of living in Canada are made right here in Ottawa. Canada now has the worst food price inflation in the G7 and the only shrinking economy in the G7. In Newfoundland and Labrador, nearly all groceries arrive by truck or ferry, yet the Prime Minister is pushing ahead with the newly renamed carbon tax, the clean fuel standard, which adds seven cents a litre, climbing to 17ยข. That will drive up the cost of transporting food right to the grocery shelf.
When will the Liberals take responsibility for their policies and stop making life more expensive for Canadians?
