Mr. Speaker, congratulations to the Liberals for turning Canada's economy into a “buy now, pay later” scheme. Canadians now finance their meals. Never before have we heard of Canadians buying pizza in four separate installments. The Liberals' only financial plan is to spend like crazy now and have Canadians pay forever.
The Liberal Prime Minister doubled Trudeau's deficit and added even more to the national credit card; more costs and taxes are all on the heads of struggling families. No wonder Canada has the highest food inflation in the G7, with 2.2 million Canadians at a food bank in a single month and one in 10 Canadians living in poverty. This is what happens when Liberals tax the farmer, the trucker, the grocer and the restaurant, and then act shocked when the price of meals goes up.
We should scrap the Liberals' fuel taxes, stop inflationary spending and bring home affordable food for Canadian families. In Canada, feeding families should not be put on a line of credit.
