Steven MacKinnon Liberal
“The Conservatives talk about government spending causing high prices, but they never say which spending they mean. Do they mean child benefits, money sent to the provinces, or military funding? I want them to explain what spending they are talking about.”
“Mr. Speaker, occasionally, we like to rise in the House to remind the Conservatives that they have never defined what they mean by inflationary spending. Is it the Canada child benefit? Is it equalization? Is it our military spending that has increased and will continue to increase to reach 5% of GDP? What does my Conservative friend consider to be inflationary spending?”
