Government House Leader Mark Holland said the Liberals will move quickly to table legislation enacting the three-part package of affordability measures announced last week by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
Inflation and cost-of-living concerns are set to dominate the return of House of Commons sittings this week, though each party is arriving with different prescriptions for tackling the country’s affordability pressures.
“You’re going to see it right away,” he said. Mr. Holland said that while the government is open to suggestions on improving the package, it hopes MPs will agree to pass the measures through the Commons without delay. “I believe Canadians will see through this,” he said on Sunday. “It’s a little bit like pouring water on a grease fire. It looks like it’s going to help and just makes the root problem even worse.”
In an interview, Mr. Julian added that his party is constantly looking for ways to advance the list of items in the March agreement. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland is expected to release an economic update this fall, which he said will be another opportunity for the Liberals to deliver on its promises to the NDP.
