Mr. Speaker, at his recent retreat in Charlottetown, the Prime Minister said that life is really tough for politicians. Today he is off on another trip to New York for three days to give a couple of speeches and burn a whole lot of fuel, at the same time as he raises carbon taxes on Canadians for the crime of driving to work and feeding their families.
Yesterday, inflation was way up. It is accelerating. It is higher than in the States and in Japan, which could drive up interest rates.
Will the Prime Minister balance the budget and axe the tax to bring inflation and interest rates down?
