Rechie Valdez Liberal
“That member votes against our programs that help people in Ontario save money. We cut child care costs by $10,000 per child, gave kids almost 100 million school meals, and gave income support to over 300,000 people.”
“Mr. Speaker, when it comes to affordability, that member voted against every measure we have put forward for Ontarians. Here are the facts. Parents are saving $10,000 per child for affordable child care; kids have received 99.8 million meals through a national school food program, and by the way, we are making it permanent; and we have delivered income support for over 300,000 Ontarians. These are the types of support that member opposite always votes against. I do not know why she does, because we build Canada strong by making sure we are making it in a way that is also affordable for Canadians.”
