"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"8839247\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, the cost of groceries has skyrocketed. Unfortunately, 10 years of Liberal inflationary deficits have forced a record number of Canadians to use food banks. Unfortunately, I ran into a friend of mine from high school, Fran\u00e7ois, there. He works, and he makes a budget, but he is unable to make ends meet. Children from my riding, in Victoriaville, go to school with an empty lunch box. There is nothing inside. Thank goodness we have organizations that take care of them.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8839248\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Will the Liberals finally table a budget to reduce inflation, lower taxes and put food on the table for our children?</p>",
