Mr. Speaker, the fake feminist Prime Minister has thrown his finance minister under the bus with all of the other ministers. The real record of the finance minister is record smashing: A million people are visiting a food bank in her province in Ontario. One in four Canadians is living in poverty. Canadians now spend more in taxes than they do on housing, food and clothes combined. No wonder they are putting the training wheels back on for her. She can tell that to the Prime Minister.

Mr. Speaker, it is absolutely absurd to hear the finance minister give anyone lessons about who they are taking advice from. Archliberal elitist, Mark Carney, has more conflicts than the twice-guilty and convicted Prime Minister of their party, and they are letting carbon tax Carney keep all the money and all the power by covering up his massive conflicts of interest while giving away that finance minister's job. He makes millions from foreign investment firms and now he is advising the Prime Minister. Why is the Prime Minister letting carbon tax Carney keep the money and the power, and serving as the real finance minister?

No, Madam Speaker, I do not include provincial debt in the federal debt. Since I only have one minute and my colleague raises several points, I thought I would take the opportunity, given the news of today, to remind Canadians that inflation has fallen from its high, at over 8%, to just 2% in Canada. That is a reduction of over three-quarters, beating all forecasts, and is now perfectly in line with our target rate set by the Bank of Canada. Canada was actually the first among all of our peers to cut interest rates, and then cut them again and then cut them again, bringing relief to homeowners today and tomorrow. That will help not only homeowners right now in our country but prospective homeowners. I have many more numbers on my sheet, but I see that my time is coming to a close. I would be happy to respond to additional finance questions from my Conservative colleague in the future.
