Mr. Speaker, after a decade of Liberal mismanagement, Canadians are paying the price. Under the Liberals, Canada is now the only G20 country in a recession, and families are feeling it at the kitchen table.
Do members want proof? A recent United Way poll shows that 38% are struggling with food insecurity, with one in five saying that all the food in their home was eaten with no money left over to buy more; 40% are losing sleep over how to stretch their paycheque just to afford groceries; and 22% of Canadians are experiencing poverty themselves.
Do members know who is not going hungry? It is our jet-setting Prime Minister; that it who. In just one year as Prime Minister, he spent almost a million taxpayer dollars on food for his private jet. That is enough money to feed 55 Canadian families for a full year.
Regular Canadians are barely scraping by. While the Prime Minister eats five-star meals on his private jet, his Liberal recession is causing financial insecurity, stress and hunger for everyone else.
