Mr. Speaker, inflation has reached its highest level since 1983, and what that means is that workers are having a harder time making ends meet. We know that the solution proposed is to increase interest rates, but that is going to put more pressure on the shoulders of workers. When will the government understand that workers did not cause this inflation? They should not bear the burden of it and they need help. When will the government send help to families now?

Mr. Speaker, inflation has reached its highest level since 1983, which means that families are struggling to make ends meet. Using higher interest rates as the only solution to address inflation will place families under even more pressure. The plan to lower inflation must include assistance for workers. When will this government offer assistance for families?
