Steven MacKinnon Liberal
“I want the Conservatives to say which government programs they want to cut. They call this spending inflationary, but they will not say if they mean pensions, child benefits, or school food programs.”
“Mr. Speaker, it has been several days, if not weeks, since we asked the Conservatives to table a list of programs they would like to cut, things that they label “inflationary spending”. The possibilities are old age security, the Canada child benefit, the school food program, support to our workers, building the country, building major projects and building it strong. Which of these things are inflationary spending in the eyes of the Conservative Party?”
