Every single week, I hear from dozens of constituents in my area who tell me they are struggling to be able just to buy food, groceries and other necessities. Use of a food bank in my area has more than doubled in recent months. After eight years of the NDP-Liberal <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a>, he is just not worth the cost; that is clear to Canadians.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8324361\" data-originallang=\"en\">Conservatives have put forward a common-sense solution called Bill <a data-HoCid=\"11538831\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-234/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act\">C-234</a>. The government decided to gut it by bullying senators. Will the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> choose to rescind, and allow the bill to go forward in order to save Canadians a whole lot of money by scrapping the tax on farmers?</p>",

Chaque semaine, des dizaines de r\u00e9sidants de ma r\u00e9gion me disent qu'ils ont du mal \u00e0 payer l'\u00e9picerie et d'autres produits de premi\u00e8re n\u00e9cessit\u00e9. Dans ma r\u00e9gion, le recours aux banques alimentaires a plus que doubl\u00e9 au cours des derniers mois.
