Mr. Speaker, I understand I have only a short time. I always appreciate concrete suggestions from opposition members. As I mentioned in my speech, it has been disappointing to hear some of the proposals put forward, including the ones in today's motion, which do not actually address the affordability crisis in this country. I am happy to work with the member opposite on her proposal.

Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her speech. I think you often double down on previous motions that were already defeated in the House, such as eliminating consumer taxes, immediately ending health measures and abolishing the carbon tax. Clearly these proposals do not really help people cope with the global issue of inflation that is affecting a number of essential products and services, nor do they do anything beyond addressing prices of individual products. Inflation is here and it is real. What real solutions are you proposing to help those hard hit by inflation?

Mr. Speaker, that is not a bad idea, and I am pleased that we are having these debates to put forward these kinds of proposals. I think that people in our ridings are at their wits' end. Recently, someone who saw me asking for more for seniors called me out saying that there was nothing for families. It is not because I am asking for more for seniors that I am not asking for more for families too. The average family, or the average household, is struggling to pay for essentials right now. An increase in the family allowance would certainly be welcome.
