“Mr. Speaker, the member has been interesting. What the Government of Canada has done is taken more of a holistic approach in dealing with affordability, because it is not new. It is something the Prime Minister has made a commitment to since the last federal election, and even prior to that. He has been Prime Minister for 18 months, and there have been a number of different measures. We can talk about getting rid of the carbon tax. We can talk about the income tax break for over 20 million Canadians. Today it is the excise tax on gas, which is important legislation. I am glad the Conservatives are going to support it. What about other initiatives that are also helping out with the issue of affordability, such as the dental program, the pharmacare program and the national food program in our schools? Does the member support the whole package?”
