They know the government's spending is driving it. They know they cannot afford any more tax hikes, and that is why they are looking for relief from the Liberals.</p>",

Ils savent que les d\u00e9penses du gouvernement provoquent une hausse de l'inflation. Ils savent qu'ils ne peuvent pas se permettre d'autres augmentations de taxes. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi ils cherchent un all\u00e9gement de la part des lib\u00e9raux.</p>"
