Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said today his government will keep injecting money into the economy in response to the pandemic, while Conservatives called for an immediate action plan to reverse the rising cost of living amid escalating inflation.

“We will continue to be there [for Canadians] because we came into this pandemic in one of the best fiscal positions of anyone in the G7. And we continue to have an extremely strong fiscal position,” Trudeau said during a COVID-19 update in Ottawa on Jan. 19.
