Madam Speaker, what is not serious is that, after eight years, the Liberals are the main cause of this inflation because of their reckless spending. There is $60 billion in new spending in the last budget. What does that do? It injects more money into the economy. What does that do? It raises the cost of living. What does that do? It forces the Bank of Canada to say that interest rates have to be increased to slow the economy down because costs are increasing too quickly. What does that do? It increases the cost of mortgages. What does that do? It annihilates any hope young people may have of ever owning a house. That is what eight years of a Liberal government does.
