Conservatives have maintained the pressure on the Liberals over the cost of living this week, tabling two motions calling for cancelling tax increases, but Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said they’re merely “huffing and puffing” as they’ve said they’ll support the government’s proposed GST rebate.

“When you look past all the huffing and puffing, all the striding and posturing, here’s what’s happened this week: The Conservatives have done a U-turn and accepted our targeted and fiscally responsible plan to help 11 million vulnerable Canadian families with GST rebates of nearly $500,” said Freeland during question period in the House of Commons on Thursday.
