Mr. Speaker, I welcome the new member to the House and thank him for his politeness.
I have a question with respect to inflation. Unfortunately, the Speech from the Throne did not address it, and the people in my riding are in very difficult positions. Some of them cannot afford housing. Some of them cannot afford food. With the cost of everything going up by multiple digits, and in some cases 10%, 15% and 20%, they are in an even more difficult position.
The member's leader was saying that monetary policy does not matter. Does the member feel the same way or does he care for his constituents like I do?
