Mr. Speaker, the Liberals' increase in the capital gains inclusion rate from 50% to 67% is a direct attack on Canadian farm families. The Liberals like to claim that this will only impact the ultra-rich, but that just is not true. This will impact family farms and young farmers who are just trying to take over the family farm. The average grain farm will easily exceed the lifetime exemption rate. This tax increase is not fair and will jeopardize the economic viability of farm families and our rural communities. Will the Prime Minister end his attack on family farms that are just trying to put food on our table?

Mr. Speaker, after nine years of this Liberal government, rents are skyrocketing and affordable housing is getting scarcer. Canadians are struggling and now the Prime Minister wants to make the situation worse by adding a tax on housing. The Corporation des propriétaires immobiliers du Québec says that adopting this measure would result in even higher rents, which is definitely something to avoid, given the current context. This Prime Minister wants to increase taxes on housing in the midst of a housing crisis. How is that possible?
