The parties diverged on what they want to see from the Liberals.
Interim Tory leader Candice Bergen accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of being “vindictive” in his staunch opposition to her party’s proposals on inflation, saying that by trying to punish her party politically, he is in fact punishing Canadians.
The party introduced what Bergen called an “omnibus motion” in the House of Commons, which urged the Trudeau government to temporarily suspend the GST on gas and diesel, suspend the carbon tax and remove all federal COVID-19 restrictions. “That’s going to go directly to families in need, to workers, to ordinary families. They need help now,” he said.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said 70 per cent of the increased prices at the pump have to do with what is happening internationally, specifically with crude oil. Asked about the Liberal government’s proposed solutions to the affordability challenges, including the national child-care plan and the child benefit, Bergen said that response is not good enough.
About 12 million people receive the GST rebate and 6.4 million Canadian children qualify for the child benefit.
