Senator Plett: Senator Gold, we find ourselves in a period of skyrocketing inflation and financial uncertainty as the recession looms. Conservatives have been warning about your government’s uncontrollable spending for years. This is not just my allegiance to Pierre Poilievre, as obviously your allegiance is to your leader. It’s been challenged by the PBO, and economists across the country are in agreement that additional spending during an inflationary period will only make inflation worse.

Your government’s response to the worsening inflation has been to simply announce more spending. Why does your government refuse to take these warnings seriously? When will you finally get serious about inflation, Senator Gold?
