In response to numerous requests, we've taken into consideration the inflationary impact of the measures that the government announced in September, particularly the temporary increase in the GST credit, the Canada dental benefit and the top‑up to the Canada housing benefit. We came to the conclusion that their impact on inflation would be marginal, in the order of a few hundredths of a percentage point.
This is understandable because these measures involve temporary amounts in certain cases that are relatively minor compared to the size of the economy.
