Well that's a whole other issue. I personally question handing out money, but the feds have done it, the province has done it and it's like anyone has stepped up with a policy of doing anything else.

But why stop the gas tax pause in 6 mnoths or a year? If it is to help with inflation, then it doesn't make sense to cancel it, because the inflation is already baked in. You haven't explained why the 6 month policy makes any sense, because prices aren't going to drop, and if the government isn't raising public sector wages with inflation level increases, they are admitting wages aren't going to rise to close the gap. The policy makes on logical sense(other than a vote buy). I'm not sure how you don't understand that.
