MP Mathyssen Calls Out Conservatives Voting Against Affordability Measures for Canadians

Madam Speaker, throughout his speech, the member talked about affordability, absolutely, and wanting to ensure that people who have been dealing with the increase in grocery prices and household costs get some relief. New Democrats tried to put forward a couple of motions. One was to remove the GST on home heating and the other was to put a price cap on groceries and essential food items, both of which the Conservative Party voted against.

Considering he is so concerned with affordability issues, I would love for the member to explain why.
