Liberal on Spring Economic Update 2026 Implementation Act 2026-05-06

83 words · 5 sentences · 6 clauses

Replying to Kevin Lamoureux (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, on that particular note, I have two quick points. I wonder if I could get the member to provide his thoughts on the national food program that was instituted and made permanent by our government. It is going to be there well into the future. I wonder if he could provide his thoughts on that. Within the budget we talk a lot about building capital infrastructure. There is a hospital designation. I know that the member has a passion for our health care system. For me, personally, I would love to see an emergency room re-established at the Seven Oaks General Hospital. I have to give that plug. I am hoping that the province will see the value of that. I am wondering if the member would like to highlight anything, whether it is the Grace Hospital or, in particular, the national school food program.”

Mr. Speaker, Anecdote · 19 wordsI spent eight years working in Seven Oaks hospital.¹ That particular place is near and dear to my heart.Anecdote Claims · 54 wordsI thought that the provincial government’s closing its emergency room was a terrible mistake. However, this spring update is in addition to the many initiatives over the last 10 years that have helped lower-income Canadians, such as the Canada child benefit and the school nutrition program, which is feeding 400,000 children across the country.² Reasoning · 10 wordsWe are simply adding to the supports for lower-income Canadians.
