Madam Speaker, I am sure Liberal MPs are hearing the same thing. They are hearing about food prices, housing costs, safety on the streets, all the same things we hear about. It is pretty uniform across the country. It is a very good question. Why does that not make its way into something like a budget bill? There are tiny little smatterings of it in here, but most of it is about other things, and it is a real shame because what the government is doing is not impacting Canadians, the average Canadian, the way it needs to. Average Canadians are still struggling.
We have heard recently that food bank usage is up, and actually, a quarter of food banks are running out of food. These are real problems faced by real Canadians every day, and none of these things are addressed properly or even close to in any way in this budget. It is a shame, and because we do not have the time to actually go to committee and study this, because we are probably going to get pushed to end this quickly, we will never have a chance to understand that. Canadians will never truly know what is going on in this budget, and it is just something that I think is bad. It is a shame, and it is a shameful way for the government to act.
