Mr. Speaker, it is great to be back in Ottawa, where we get to bring the concerns of our communities back to Parliament. One thing is clear after hearing from all the good people of Hamilton East—Stoney Creek this summer: The Liberal government is not hearing them.
I heard from Annie, a senior who relies on CPP, OAS and food banks to get by. It is because of the cost of living crisis that she does not know if she will be able to pay her rent or bills. After 11 years of Liberal policies, this is a new reality that many Canadians face. However, there is hope. The Conservatives have identified over $150 billion in savings, nearly $10,000 per family, by cutting wasteful consultants, corporate welfare, foreign aid, handouts to fake asylum claimants, and massive money-losing projects like Alto rail.
It is time that the wasteful Liberal government started listening to Canadians and started working with Conservatives to make real, lasting changes that will bring affordability back to Canada.
