Context: House Hansard - 270 - Jan/29/24
Ms. Michelle Ferreri (Peterborough—Kawartha, CPC)
Mr. Speaker, my colleague's speech was excellent and really honoured the work that our farmers do to feed us. In my riding, over Christmastime, I met with a local woman who had to shut down her business because of the cost of butter. Eight years ago, when she started, it was $2.49 a pound. It is now upwards of $7.49 a pound. That is a 300% increase. How would this bill help with that butter effect that we have seen with inflation and help the cost of a household item like butter come back down?

Mr. Speaker, after eight years of this government, in the Prime Minister's riding, the cost of rent has gone from $760 a month to $2,249 a month. That is three times as much. The Prime Minister thinks only of himself. He travels to Jamaica at a cost of over $9,000 a night on our dime. Can he come back to Canada's reality and address the housing problems of Canadians, beginning with those in his own riding of Papineau, in Montreal?
