“The Bank of Canada makes its own choices, and conflicts in the Middle East and high oil prices are causing inflation. Our government is helping families afford life by paying for child care, dental care, school food, and groceries.”
“Mr. Speaker, we know that the Bank of Canada and its monetary policy are independent. It has to keep inflation within the target range. Obviously, inflation is being driven by conflicts in the Middle East and the oil price shocks. The member opposite knows that well. We have invested in the Canadian economy. We have strengthened affordability supports and measures, and social support programs like the groceries and essentials benefit. That is real support. It amounts to thousands of dollars per month with child care, dental care and the national school food program. There are all kinds of supports that really impact families’ lives. That makes life easier. We are doing all that while investing in a more prosperous future.”
