Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the current Prime Minister, Canadians are struggling just to put food on the table. Food insecurity continues to worsen across this country, and today, Food Banks Canada's poverty report card confirms it. Nearly 50% of Canadians feel financially worse off than last year, 25% of Canadians are going hungry, and food banks have seen a 50% increase since 2021. It is the current Prime Minister's record. The NDP-Liberal government's inflationary spending and taxes are driving up the cost of living, and the Prime Minister's plan is just to keep hiking up the carbon tax, making gas, heating and groceries even more expensive. Canadians are desperate, and the Prime Minister is not listening. The Prime Minister is simply not worth the cost. Only common-sense Conservatives would cap the spending, axe the carbon tax and bring home lower prices for all Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister's wacko carbon tax obsession is not just costing Canadians at the pumps; it raises the cost of home heating and groceries, because, of course, if we tax the farmer who produces the food and the trucker who ships the food, we tax all who buy the food. It is a housing tax, because it raises the cost of building materials that go into homes. With the report out today that 25% of young people had to go to a food bank in just three months, will the Prime Minister accept the common-sense Conservative bill to take the tax off the farmers who produce our food?
