The possibilities are old age security, the Canada child benefit, the school food program, support to our workers, building the country, building major projects and building it strong. Which of these things are inflationary spending in the eyes of the Conservative Party?</p>",

Il pourrait s'agir de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 de la vieillesse, de l'Allocation canadienne pour enfants, du programme d'alimentation scolaire, du soutien aux travailleurs canadiens, de l'\u00e9dification du pays, de la r\u00e9alisation de grands projets et de l'id\u00e9e de b\u00e2tir un Canada fort. Laquelle de ces mesures constitue, aux yeux du Parti conservateur, une d\u00e9pense inflationniste?</p>"
