Mr. Speaker, yesterday, I heard over and over again the new attempt at a temporary solution on inflation. How can this government justify being responsible for driving up inflation and then give a benefit because people cannot afford to buy groceries and essentials on their own? Think about what this message actually is. It says, here, let the Liberal government help people pay for groceries and basic necessities because of the Liberal policies making it more expensive.
When will the Liberals learn to stop trying to buy their way out of problems? Learn the lesson. Get rid of the taxes and the splash-the-cash spending driving inflation. Cut the fuel standards tax, the industrial carbon tax and the food packaging tax, and stop the billions of dollars in misspent money.
Fiscal responsibility keeps inflation in check. When will the Liberals take our advice and implement real solutions to the affordability problem in Canada?
