Mr. Speaker, Canadians are suffering one of the worst affordability crises in generations. Sixty per cent of them are having trouble meeting their monthly expenses; half are using credit cards or borrowing money for daily needs, paying interest rates of 19% or more; and food bank usage has doubled since 2019. People should not have to struggle like this in a country as wealthy as Canada.
What steps is the government taking to make sure Canadians do not have to go into debt just to feed their family?
