Mr. Speaker, last week, the Governor of the Bank of Canada confirmed what millions of Canadians already know: Liberal spending is making life more expensive. Nine years of NDP-Liberal deficits have led to a lost decade, lowering standards of living, record food bank usage and a housing crisis. Will the government finally commit to a dollar-for-dollar rule that would allow Canadians to feed their families and keep their homes?

Mr. Speaker, I will quote the governor directly. He said this Liberal budget is “not helpful.” It is more distraction and denial to cover up the government's record of massive deficits, which have led to over $54 billion in interest being paid in this budget alone. It will spend more in interest that it will collect in GST. We will pay more in interest than we will for health care transfers. When will the Liberals finally get their deficits under control so Canadians can eat and keep their homes?
