Madam Speaker, inflation may in part be caused by our reliance on oil. We have to think about reducing that reliance.
That being said, people everywhere, seniors, students and low‑income individuals, are facing situations where oil is not the problem. The problem is rising costs. For instance, the cost of housing is skyrocketing. There is far more demand than supply and that leads to rising prices.
To ease the burden, should we not be investing in social and affordable housing instead?
