In 2022, the House passed legislation and there was an emergency payment done in weeks. Instead of making Canadians wait for months, will the <a data-HoCid=\"317577\" href=\"/politicians/mark-carney/\" title=\"Mark Carney\">Prime Minister</a> work with the NDP to get help for Canadians immediately?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9119657\" data-originallang=\"en\">If the Liberals are interested in lowering the rate for groceries, will they please take the GST off all grocery essentials, finally impose a price cap and tax excess profits to stop Canadians from getting gouged by big corporate interests?</p>",
