Liberal and Conservative MPs clashed over a solution to Canada’s ongoing cost-of-living crisis in the House of Commons Wednesday.

Though Parliamentarians unanimously approved a Conservative motion that would accelerate deliberations over Prime Minister Mark Carney’s proposed Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit (Bill C-19), several Tories still criticized the “recycled” plan, suggesting the Liberals back their own food affordability plan instead.

Bill C-19 would include a boosted GST credit for qualifying Canadians that could see some families receive several hundred dollars more each year compared to what they may qualify for now to help with grocery costs.

Food inflation in Canada spiked five per cent this December compared to last year, according to Statistics Canada — more than double the rate at which prices increased on average for all goods and services in the same period.
