Steven MacKinnon Liberal
“We cut the gas tax by 28 cents. I want the Conservatives to say which government spending they think causes inflation. People in Newfoundland and Labrador want to know.”
“Mr. Speaker, of course, we have cut the gas tax by 28¢, but the member from Newfoundland and Labrador gets up, and maybe we will ask her, because we have not really had success of late getting that list of things that they consider to be inflationary spending on the table. We have no idea what the Conservatives consider to be inflationary spending. Is it the child benefit? Is it employment insurance? Is it small craft harbours? Newfoundlanders and Labradorians want to know.”
