Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister said that Canadians would judge him by the cost at the grocery store. Let us judge him by the cost at the grocery store. Since March, sugar is up 20%, coffee is up 22%, canned soup is up 26% and cuts of beef are up 33%. It is no wonder food inflation is up 40% since the Liberals took office. That is why more than 25% of households now struggle to afford food.
I have heard heartbreaking stories from Canadians. Parents cannot afford to feed their kids hearty meals, seniors are skipping their meals altogether and food banks have never been busier. However, yesterday, the Liberal Prime Minister arrogantly bragged that he knows many things. Well, clearly, he does not know about the cost of food.
Canadians cannot afford higher grocery prices, and they certainly cannot afford the Liberal Prime Minister.
