Mr. Speaker, at least the Leader of the Opposition is consistent in not letting facts get in the way of a good political argument. Whether it is on climate change, foreign interference or the Bank of Canada and inflation, he is continuing to fearmonger. He is continuing to amplify erroneous fears that Canadians have while we are delivering supports in a targeted way. We have the lowest deficit of any G7 country. We have the lowest debt-to-GDP ratio of any G7 country. We are continuing to be there for Canadians in a non-inflationary way that is targeted and right.

Mr. Speaker, did the Prime Minister say, “erroneous fears”? Tonight families will sit down with their kids at the dining room table to say, “Sorry, we have to sell the house because mortgage payments are going to go up by as much as $1,500 per month”. That is not from me. That is according to the Bank of Canada, which predicts a 40% increase in mortgage payments. People cannot pay $1,500 more in mortgage payments. They have only $200 left in the bank at the end of the month. Will the Prime Minister acknowledge that these are real fears by real people and stand on their side?
