Thank you.

Minister, David Dodge, John Manley and the current Governor of the Bank of Canada have all said that government spending—all levels—is driving inflation, which is making the Bank of Canada hold rates higher for longer or maybe even increase them further.

Have you expressed concern to your colleagues or the Minister of Finance that they need to rein in spending so that Canadians don't face the pressure of continued interest rate hikes or its staying higher longer?
