Mr. Speaker, after nine years, the Liberal-NDP government is just not worth the cost of homelessness and hunger that Canadians are facing. Even Canadians who own their own homes are worried that they will become homeless when they have to renew their mortgages at much higher interest rates. Some payments will even triple, according to a new report. When will the government rein in their inflationary spending so more Canadians do not have to worry about homelessness?

Mr. Speaker, after nine years, grocery prices have actually gone up under the Liberal-NDP government, and now Canadians are facing hunger and homelessness at unprecedented rates. The Liberal-NDP Prime Minister is just not worth the cost. Of the mortgages outstanding, as of February 2024, 76% of them will be up for renewal in 2026. When will the Liberal-NDP Prime Minister stop his inflationary spending so Canadians can afford food and shelter once again?

Mr. Speaker, after nine years of this Liberal Prime Minister, more and more Quebeckers are going hungry. I was touring Abitibi last week, and the food bank in Rouyn-Noranda is witnessing a very disturbing trend: fully 54% of the people who use the food bank in Rouyn-Noranda have a job. These people are working and getting paid, they do have money, but they do not have enough money to feed themselves. That is what Canada has come to, after nine years of this Liberal government, with the support of the Bloc Québécois, which blindly voted for $500 billion in inflationary spending. Is the government aware of this mess?

Mr. Speaker, the superintendent of financial institutions released his annual risk outlook yesterday. It is now a warning from its own regulator for the Liberal-NDP government to heed. Canadian homeowners who renew their mortgages over the next two years could face a payment shock. The root cause of this spike in payments is the government's loose spending policies. Large deficits have driven inflation, which have increased mortgage costs. With all these warnings, will the Minister of Finance take a lesson and reverse her inflationary spending policies?

Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the NDP-Liberal Prime Minister, more Canadians are hungry and homeless. The number of tent cities is growing across the country, and the number of people lining up at food banks has grown to over two million and continues to climb. The Salvation Army reports that 26% of Canadians are skipping or reducing meals. The Prime Minister is not worth the cost. When will he finally stop his inflationary spending, which is forcing Canadians to go hungry?

Mr. Speaker, here are the facts. After nine years of the NDP-Liberal Prime Minister, more Canadians are losing their home and going hungry. The number of Canadians who have reported food security challenges has increased, and 26% are skipping meals. Costs continue to rise and the government's plan to raise taxes will only make it worse. Canadians are losing hope. The Prime Minister is not worth the cost. When will he finally admit his inflationary policies are hurting Canadians?

Mr. Speaker, after nine years under this Prime Minister, more and more Quebeckers are going hungry or living on the streets. The Bloc Québécois voted for $500 billion in spending. It claims to represent Quebeckers, but then it turns its back on them and votes in favour of inflationary, centralizing spending. While Quebeckers are suffering, the Bloc Québécois is voting to give the federal government more money and Quebec less. Which minister in this Bloc-Liberal government is going to stand up and defend these inflationary policies?

Mr. Speaker, after nine years under this Prime Minister, more and more Quebeckers are going hungry and living in the streets, in dire need. While Canadians are suffering because of the Liberals' inflationary policies, the Bloc Québécois continues to encourage them. Quebeckers are struggling under the weight of this broken economy, but what is the Bloc Québécois doing? It is voting in favour of a $500‑billion budget. The Bloc Québécois and the Prime Minister are simply not worth the cost. Can this Bloc-Liberal government show a bit of empathy for Quebeckers and think about their interests for once?
