Mr. Speaker, that is arrogance on display. The minister thinks that everything is going fine, but for everyone drawing a paycheque, feeding a family or paying a mortgage, the reality is much different.
Last month, the Prime Minister stood in this House and said, “Affordability is the best it has been in over a decade.” While we get the same speeches for four straight months and running, Canada has had the worst food inflation of all of our allies, and that, too, deserves a speech. On top of all of that, Canada has the highest household debt and the only shrinking economy in the G7.
If affordability is the best it has been in a decade, then I have one question: For whom?
