0:00
Mr. Speaker, under this Liberal
0:01
government, the cost of groceries and
0:03
food prices continue to skyrocket. This
0:05
year alone, the cost of apples is up
0:07
19%. Beef strip loin is up 34%. White
0:12
rice is up 14% and infant formula is up
0:15
9%. We know this Liberal government's
0:17
deficit spending drives inflation and
0:19
leads to higher prices at the grocery
0:21
store. Will the minority Liberal
0:23
government table a budget that reverses
0:24
this inflationary spending so Canadians
0:27
can afford to put food on their table?
0:31
The honorable minister of jobs and
0:34
Mr. Speaker, child poverty is down 38%
0:37
since 2015 and overall 26% in the
0:41
general population 18 to 65. Mr.
0:43
Speaker, but you know, the party
0:45
opposite could help by not voting
0:47
against things that make it better for
0:48
Canadians, like things like the Canada
0:51
Child Benefit or dental care or the
0:53
school food food program or supports for
0:56
apprentices. Mr. Speaker, every step of
0:58
the way, the Conservative Party stands
1:00
in the way of families.
1:02
The honorable member for Barry
1:04
Springwater, Orodonte.
1:06
Mr. Speaker, the prime minister said he
1:08
wants to be held accountable for what
1:10
Canadians pay at the grocery store. This
1:12
year, Canadians are spending $800 more
1:14
on groceries and the Berry Food Bank is
1:17
now supporting upwards of 7,000 people
1:19
per month, 37% of which are children.
1:23
Instead of offering relief and a real
1:24
fiscal plan, this prime minister is
1:26
spending a half trillion dollars without
1:28
telling Canadians where the where the
1:30
revenue is coming from. When will this
1:32
prime minister table a budget that
1:33
fights inflations so that Canadians can
1:36
afford to feed their families?
1:38
The honorable Minister of Jobs and
1:42
Mr. Speaker, a tax cut for 22 million
1:45
Canadians is exactly the kind of support
1:47
that Canadians are asking for. And
1:49
that's why they elected us, Mr. speaker
1:51
because they know that when things are
1:52
difficult for Canadians that they can
1:54
count on the Liberal government to be
1:56
there for them. Whether it's to help
1:57
raise healthy children, make sure their
1:59
kids get a good breakfast in the
2:01
morning, or make sure that they too can
2:02
afford child care so that they can
2:04
continue to grow and earn uh earn great
2:07
livingings across this country. Mr.
2:08
Speaker, we'll be there for Canadians.
2:10
The honorable member for Pinoa Dsbury.
2:14
Well, Mr. Speaker, it's official. This
2:16
new Liberal prime minister refuses to
2:18
present a spring budget even though
2:19
Canadians have been without one for over
2:22
a year. But in that time, students have
2:24
had budgets, families have budgets,
2:26
small businesses have budgets, towns and
2:27
cities have budgets, provinces and
2:29
territories all have budgets, banks have
2:31
budgets. Pretty sure Brookfield's got a
2:33
budget. So why doesn't this government
2:35
have a budget? The last guy thought that
2:37
budgets balance themselves. Does a new
2:39
guy think that budgets just draft and
2:45
the honorable minister of finance.
2:48
And Mr. Speaker, he failed to mention
2:51
one. And Canada will have a budget in
2:53
the fall, Mr. Speaker, of this year.
2:55
That's one thing that he forgot to
2:56
mention to Canadian. But you know what
2:59
is responsible to do, Mr. Speaker, is
3:02
the first thing we did when we came to
3:03
this house was to lower tax for 22
3:07
million Canadians. Mr. Speaker, that's
3:09
something that we that they failed to
3:12
mention. That's the type of thing that
3:14
Canadians at home are watching and they
3:16
know with our motion and them voting for
3:18
the bill, Mr. Speaker, by July 1st,
3:20
their tax will come down. That's what
3:22
Canadian expect. That's what we deliver.
3:25
The honorable member for Cam Loops
3:26
Shushwap Central Rockies.
3:29
Mr. Speaker, Canadians from Field BC in
3:31
the Rockies to the ranchlands of Cam
3:33
Loops tell me that family budgets are
3:35
being destroyed by Liberal inflationary
3:38
spending. The prime minister wants to be
3:40
held to account by what Canadians pay at
3:43
the grocery store. Today, we're debating
3:45
our Conservative motion calling for a
3:47
budget as soon as possible. Will this
3:50
Liberal government table a budget and
3:52
reverse their inflationary spending so
3:54
that Canadians can afford to put food on
4:02
The honorable um secretary of state
4:06
Seniors, that's what I figured. Yeah. Go
4:09
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's an honor to
4:11
rise in this house for the first time as
4:12
the member for Squimalt Sanage Sou.
4:19
Mr. Speaker, this government is doing
4:21
important work to ensure that we are
4:23
protecting vulnerable Canadians,
4:25
including vulnerable seniors. And that's
4:27
why we continue to stand up for seniors.
4:30
We are restoring eligibility to age 65
4:33
with the old age security program. And
4:35
this is an important step to defend
4:38
vulnerable seniors from falling into
4:40
poverty. This policy also helps to
4:42
protect low-income seniors who depend
4:45
heavily on OAS and GIS. No.
