Mr. Speaker, we hear a lot about inflation. I just had a quick look. The leader of the Conservative Party was actually a parliamentary secretary under Stephen Harper. There was an election in 2011. In the year 2011, the inflation rate was actually 2.91%. In the last eight months or so, the inflation rate under the current Prime Minister has been around 2.2%.
Could the member share his thoughts on how we deal with issues like inflation as we support Canadians through programs that are provided, for example, in the budget? Should he not be supporting the budget, so that we can make life more affordable for Canadians?
