“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.”

“Our government is focused on lowering costs for families and keeping the economy strong. We cut taxes and gave people money for food and basic needs.”

“Mr. Speaker, we are going to continue to focus, on this side, on affordability. We just launched the grocery and essentials benefit that will put up to $1,900 in the pockets of hard-working families. We just cut the excise tax. That is 10¢. I combine that with the carbon tax cut, and that is 28¢. The spring economic update continued to confirm that our economy is strong and growing. On this side of the House, we are laser-focused on building a strong economy. That side can continue with the rhetoric and the riddles.”
