Mr. Speaker, it is clear the Prime Minister's staff handed him a stale briefing note because inflation is actually rising. It was up in the most recent reported month. It just so happens that that month followed the introduction of the $60 billion of brand new, above and beyond, inflationary spending by the minister. We now know that deficits contribute to inflation, which raise interest rates. He is right. The Bank of Canada is trying to bring down that inflation while he continues to pour the gas on the fire.
Will he stop that irresponsible practice and deliver a balanced budget to bring down inflation and interest rates?
