Mr. Speaker, Claims · 79 wordsthis week, our national credit card got quite the workout with $37 billion in new inflationary spending, nearly $1,000 for every Canadian.¹² Who pays? Canadian families forced to max out their own credit cards to buy groceries and pay the rent. For all of that spending, we still have the highest food inflation in the G7 and the highest housing prices, ³and now we spend more to service the debt than we do on health care to the provinces.⁴ The question · 20 wordsWhen will the government stop tabling reckless credit card budgets so that Canadian families can just afford to get by?
