Mr. Speaker, if we want to lower inflation and enable the Bank of Canada to reduce interest rates, we have limited options. We need to cap spending by applying the dollar-for-dollar rule. If we spend a dollar, we have to find a way to save a dollar. It is simple. That is how ordinary Canadians manage their household budgets. That is how every minister in this government should run their department. Will the Prime Minister cap spending in his upcoming budget to bring down inflation and interest rates?

Mr. Speaker, we are calling for three things today. It is not complicated. One of the three things the Conservative Party is calling for is to build homes, not bureaucracy. The government insists on announcing inflationary measures that are costing Canadian taxpayers billions of dollars and only serve to increase inflation and the cost of living. Even David Dodge, the former Liberal governor of the Bank of Canada, has predicted that this will be the worst budget since 1982. Will the Prime Minister commit to heeding the calls of the Leader of the Opposition and building homes, not bureaucracy?
