Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said today the federal government must be “careful” moving forward not to implement programs and policies that will accelerate already-spiking inflation rates.

At a press conference in Ottawa, Trudeau said the government would “do what is necessary to support vulnerable Canadians as we move forward, taking into account inflation.”
