Does he mean school nutrition? Does he mean dental care? Does he mean investments in jobs or in renewable energy?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9042071\" data-originallang=\"fr\">What exactly does he mean by inflationary spending? We have been asking him that forever. My colleague seems not to know, but I invite him to explain it to the House and to all of Canada. </p>",

Est-ce la nutrition scolaire? Est-ce que ce sont les soins dentaires? Est-ce que ce sont les investissements dans les emplois ou dans l'\u00e9nergie renouvelable?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9042071\" data-originallang=\"fr\">C'est quoi, au juste, une d\u00e9pense inflationniste?
