Mr. Speaker, well, after eight years in power, rents have doubled from $1,000 to $2,000. Monthly mortgage payments have doubled from $1,500 to well over $3,000. One in five Canadians is skipping meals, and half of Canadians are cutting groceries because of the food price inflation that his carbon tax has caused. Where is the money going? There was $15 billion for high-priced consultants like McKinsey. When he hired McKinsey, he announced that it was for $1 a year, up to at least $120 million a year. How do you explain that? It is just inflation?

Mr. Speaker, we do not need to spend more, we need to spend better. According to the Food Price Report, an average family of four will have to pay $1,065 more for groceries in 2023. Canadian families are already struggling to get by. In 2023, more and more families simply will not make it. Can the government that has been in power for eight years, as I like to keep saying, look Canadians in the eye and tell them they have nothing to complain about?
