00:00:00.080 Carney is having a really bad week. First the CBC turned on him, then CTV turned on him.

00:00:06.400 Now it seems like everybody in Canada is finally turning on him.

00:00:10.620 This recent speech by Paulyev could be the final nail in the coffin.

00:00:14.280 Let's watch it together and don't forget to stick around till the end for some commentary.

00:00:18.460 Our goals, Mr. Speaker, are very clear. Stronger take-home pay with affordable food at home,

00:00:23.280 safer streets by locking up the criminals that liberals turned loose,

00:00:26.680 secure borders by fixing the broken liberal immigration system

00:00:30.980 and a self-reliant Canada by unlocking the power of our resources, industry and entrepreneurs.

00:00:37.200 But first among all these is that we must be able to feed our people.

00:00:41.080 Conservatives believe that everyone, our families, our seniors, our workers,

00:00:46.300 deserve nutritious, delicious, affordable food on their tables.

00:00:49.980 Meat and potatoes night after night, not as a once-in-a-while treat.

00:00:53.880 They shouldn't feel stress and anxiety as they walk down grocery aisles.

00:00:58.500 In fact, they should be looking at the items that they can't wait to bring home

00:01:02.880 and transform into the next delicious family meal,

00:01:06.480 rather than looking at the price tag and wondering whether we'll empty their bank accounts.

00:01:10.980 They should have full fridges, full stomachs and full bank accounts all at the same time.

00:01:17.120 That used to be what we took for granted in Canada.

00:01:19.620 But after 10 years of liberal inflation, the cost of food is up over 40%.

00:01:25.240 In fact, since this particular Prime Minister took office, promising that he could be judged by the price of food,

00:01:32.620 food prices have been rising 50% faster in Canada than in the United States.

00:01:38.240 The Daily Bread Food Bank says this year, Toronto alone will have 4 million visits to the food bank.

00:01:44.300 That's double what it was two years ago, meaning worse than it was under Justin Trudeau.

00:01:48.920 The average family of four is expected to spend almost $17,000 on food this year.

00:01:54.920 That's up well over $800 over the previous year.

00:01:58.760 This at a time when wages are flat and joblessness is skyrocketing.

00:02:02.920 100,000 more people lost their jobs this summer under this Prime Minister's high-tax, low-growth policy,

00:02:08.540 which has given us the slowest growth in the – sorry, not growth – the fastest shrinking economy in the G7,

00:02:15.540 far worse than I stated it.

00:02:17.540 And meanwhile, those jobless people are walking down the grocery aisles,

00:02:21.540 seeing that beef is up 33%, canned soup 26%, grapes 24%, roasted and ground coffee 22%, beef stewing cuts up 22%.

00:02:33.540 Food costs should be dropping in this country, Mr. Speaker,

00:02:37.160 because the amount of fertilizer, fuel, water and labor that goes into producing food has dropped dramatically.

00:02:46.160 The average dairy cow can produce four times as much milk as 50 years ago,

00:02:51.920 and the average acre can produce four times as much corn.

00:02:56.160 So all of the costs of producing food are dropping, but the price of buying food is going up.

00:03:03.540 What explains the difference? Well, part of that you'll have to wait for the member from Chatham-Kent-Lamington,

00:03:09.780 with whom I will be splitting my time, a very esteemed colleague.

00:03:13.160 But part of it, I guarantee he will tell you, part of it is the cost of government,

00:03:18.300 which again is the biggest cost contributor, and it has been rising under this Liberal government.

00:03:23.780 This Prime Minister has three main grocery taxes, all of which he has been raising.

00:03:29.700 First, the industrial carbon tax on fertilizer and on farm equipment.

00:03:36.900 That tax increases the cost right up through the food chain,

00:03:41.460 a tax that this Prime Minister intends to more than triple if, God forbid, he stays in power until 2023.

00:03:49.060 Then there's the fuel standard tax.

00:03:51.460 This is a 17 cent a litre tax that the government is imposing that will apply on diesel and on gasoline,

00:04:01.460 replacing the carbon tax fuel charge that was in place up until I forced the government to remove it just a few months ago.

00:04:09.940 But I warned that this government would simply bring in a new carbon tax if given the chance,

00:04:16.020 and that is exactly what they are doing. That will, of course, raise the cost.

00:04:19.940 This one is worse though, because unlike the previous fuel charge, which exempted

00:04:24.580 tractors, combines and other on-farm use, this will apply.

00:04:30.740 This will apply on the fuel that goes right into the combine, the seeder, the planter, the tractor, on the farm gate.

00:04:37.700 So it will be even worse for food prices than the previous tax.

00:04:41.540 And then there's the inflation tax itself, the most immoral, destructive tax there is, the sneakiest tax.

00:04:47.620 And if the inflation tax happens when the government prints money to pay its bills,

00:04:53.460 ultimately bidding up the cost of everything Canadians buy.

00:04:56.580 If you have an economy with 10 loaves of bread and $10, it's a buck a loaf.

00:05:00.580 If you double the number of dollars to 20, but you still only have 10 loaves of bread,

00:05:05.460 well, each bread purchase goes up by 100 percent. It doubles in price.

00:05:11.700 And that is what we call the inflation tax. This Prime Minister is familiar with it because,

00:05:16.500 of course, he caused the inflation and housing crisis in Great Britain, where he was a disastrous

00:05:22.980 and now totally despised Bank of England governor. He will hopefully be apologizing to the British people

00:05:30.340 for the economic hell he left behind in that role. But instead, he's bringing that hell here to Canada.

00:05:36.980 Today, we learned that this Prime Minister is even more expensive than Justin Trudeau.

00:05:42.420 Who would have thought it possible? The deficit for this year will be,

00:05:47.460 according to the parliamentary budget officer, two-thirds higher than the one that Trudeau left

00:05:53.460 behind. Over the next five years, the deficit will add up to $314 billion, more than double the

00:06:01.780 deficits that Trudeau was expected to add over that period of time. In other words, he is borrowing

00:06:07.620 at twice the rate of Justin Trudeau, more expensive, and of course, much of that money will be printed.

00:06:13.780 Already, the Bank of Canada is signaling that it is again doing away with its main mandate, which is to

00:06:20.340 fight inflation. They've taken that mandate off of the main webpage where they used to describe their

00:06:27.940 mission as low and stable inflation, and they've replaced it with a grand pronouncement that they're

00:06:34.820 not just any bank, they are the central bank, Mr. Speaker. What they really mean is that they're

00:06:40.180 going back to printing money to pay for a Prime Minister who cannot control himself. Every dollar this

00:06:46.980 Liberal Prime Minister spends comes out of the pockets of Canadians in direct taxes or inflation

00:06:53.380 taxes. Mr. Speaker, a member across the way, I think he's the whip, is it the whip? Yeah.

00:06:59.540 He's saying he doesn't know that the Bank of Canada had a website. Another example of a Liberal who

00:07:03.780 should do a little bit more research before opening his mouth, Mr. Speaker. And he doesn't,

00:07:09.380 there's a lot of things that they don't know over there, or that they don't want Canadians to know.

00:07:15.460 We know that inflation is very good for Brookfield because the CEO of that company said so.

00:07:20.820 He said that his company profits from inflation, so the Prime Minister will get richer as he makes

00:07:26.500 Canadians poorer and hungrier through his inflation tax. Our goal on this side of the House is exactly

00:07:32.980 the opposite. C'est la raison pour laquelle nous proposons d'éliminer les taxes sur les épiceries.

00:07:38.180 Nous pensons qu'on puisse réduire le coût d'épicerie en éliminant la taxe industrielle de carbone qui augmente le

00:07:44.900 coût des ingrédients et des équipements pour les fermiers. Éliminant la taxe carbone sur le diesel

00:07:51.140 et l'essence pour permettre de produire et transporter la nourriture plus efficacement. Et finalement,

00:07:58.100 éliminant la taxe d'inflation en réduisant les déficits inflationnistes, Monsieur le Président. Il faut

00:08:04.940 couper la bureaucratie, les consultants, le BS cooperative, l'aide à l'étranger et l'argent pour les fausses

00:08:11.900 réfugiés, pour réduire le déficit et réduire le coût de la vie. On ne veut pas un déficit

00:08:18.140 financier ni un déficit nutritionnel pour les Canadiens, Monsieur le Président. Nous voulons un pays où tous les

00:08:25.100 Canadiens qui travaillent fort puissent avoir de nourriture délicieuse, abordable pour unir leur

00:08:32.140 leur famille dans une qualité de vie extraordinaire. C'est possible dans notre pays qui est béni avec

00:08:38.860 des avantages géographiques, démographiques et économiques extraordinaires. On a un bel avenir si

00:08:48.140 nous prenons les bonnes décisions. Commençons avec l'élimination des taxes sur l'épicerie.

00:08:53.580 Mr. Speaker, today we call on the government to stop taxing food. Allow Canadians to have nutritious,

00:09:01.420 delicious food. Make this a country where anyone who's worked hard can enjoy meat and potatoes on

00:09:08.620 their table in a beautiful house that they own, on a safe street with a wonderful Canadian flag

00:09:15.020 hanging off the front porch. Thank you.

00:09:24.620 Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition, Senior Political Advisor, Jenny Byrne,

00:09:30.220 does she still work for Loblaws, yes or no?

00:09:34.460 The Honorable Leader of the Official Opposition.

00:09:37.180 Mr. Speaker, of course not, Mr. Speaker. And the answer to his question, really, the question really is,

00:09:43.660 we have the ultimate corporate lobbyist as the Prime Minister of Canada.

00:09:48.700 What is he lobbying for? Tax evasion. His investments are stashed away in offshore

00:09:53.820 Caribbean bank accounts where they don't pay the taxes that Canadian pays. He wants to force

00:09:59.420 Canadians to subsidise the electric car production system that profits Brookfield. He wants Canadians to

00:10:06.620 pay higher inflation, which the CEO of Brookfield said would profit his company. We have a corporate

00:10:14.780 lobbyist as our Prime Minister, and that's why a small group of people are getting rich, making everyone

00:10:20.220 else poor.

00:10:22.540 Carney is done. Carney is so done, he just doesn't realize it yet. Polyev is way too smart, and he says

00:10:30.060 things that make sense. Carney is incompetent, and says things that don't make any sense at all. I

00:10:36.940 believe it's only a matter of time before Carney either resigns, or gets forced out through a no

00:10:41.820 confidence vote. Have a bit of faith. Good things are going to happen really soon. I promise you.
