00:00:00.240 People worried about the cost of everything being more expensive. They're saying that
00:00:03.360 the rent's up, the mortgage is up, everything's more expensive, groceries are more expensive.
00:00:07.600 And they were feeling that that worry that what's going to happen next,
00:00:11.360 that uncertainty for the future. They weren't hopeful for a new year, they're worried.
00:00:16.000 And they're worried for their kids, they're worried about putting food on the table,
00:00:19.440 they felt a lot of worry and fear. And at a time when people are feeling this here in Edmonton,
00:00:24.240 we know this is what people are feeling across the country. At the same time, Justin Trudeau
00:00:29.440 is having a meeting with his cabinet in Montreal and he's talking about growing the middle class.
00:00:34.720 Well, he's had almost nine years in power and instead of growing the middle class,
00:00:38.960 things have gotten worse and worse. It's more expensive to buy groceries,
00:00:42.720 more expensive to rent or to mortgage. Life has gotten harder, salaries haven't kept up.
00:00:47.440 He is out of touch. And that's why our strategic session is going to focus on
00:00:52.480 how we can continue to make this parliament work for people. How do we deliver for people
00:00:57.040 like we deliver dental care? How do we deliver housing that's affordable? How do we bring down
00:01:01.840 people's rents? How do we focus on making sure people can afford their groceries? That's what 0.93
00:01:06.080 our focus is. Unlike the Conservatives and Pierre Polyev who want to cut the services that families
00:01:11.760 need. They want to cut things like your pension. The Conservatives voted against a school lunch program.
00:01:17.360 While Pierre Polyev talks about how expensive groceries are, he wants to cut a school lunch program to feed
00:01:23.920 kids and help their parents with the cost of food. That's who the Conservatives are. The Liberals and
00:01:29.520 Justin Trudeau are out of touch. They don't know what people are going through and they've had so many
00:01:33.760 years to make things better than haven't. You Democrats are focused on making life more affordable.
00:01:38.800 How we can fight for you and your families. Not for the ultra rich like the Liberals and Conservatives.
00:01:43.440 How do we fight for everyday families, for young people, for seniors to make their lives better?
00:01:48.000 That's our focus and that's what we focus on. That's what we'll be focusing on during our time here in Edmonton.
