Mr. Speaker, the support measures we are aiming to put in place will do exactly what my colleague is asking. They will put money in the pockets of the Canadians who need it most. At the same time, we are very much aware of the issue of inflation. Economists throughout the country have clearly said that our measures will not increase inflation. That is our commitment to Canadians: Support them where they need it while remaining fiscally prudent.

Mr. Speaker, these measures will not increase inflation. They will bring much needed support to the people on the ground. We are focusing on Canadians who need help the most. Economist Trevor Tombe was clear when he said that global factors and spending, changes or tax changes made by the Government of Canada were unlikely to have a significant effect. It is the economists who are saying that our plan is a fiscally prudent plan.
