Mr. Speaker, we cannot control what happens abroad, but the Liberals do control the policies that are imposing an affordability crisis on Canadians here at home. Right now, we have the worst food inflation and the only shrinking economy in the G7.
The Liberal Prime Minister is going ahead with his newly renamed carbon tax, the clean fuel standard. This policy now costs seven cents a litre but will rise to 17¢ a litre. This makes everything more expensive for our farmers, fishermen and those who deliver food to our tables.
The industrial carbon tax, which the Liberal Prime Minister will continue to increase, only makes steel, aluminum, plastic and farm equipment more expensive as well. These costs are imposed at home, not abroad.
When will the Liberals accept responsibility for what they can control, and remove their out-of-touch policies to make life more affordable for all Canadians?
