“Our government is helping people with the cost of living. We cut taxes, helped pay for groceries and dental care, and lowered gas prices. The Prime Minister's travel also brought good trade deals and jobs to Canada.”
“Mr. Speaker, my colleague talked about easing the pressure on Canadians’ wallets. The first thing that we did when we took office was to cut taxes for 22 million Canadians. There is also the Canada groceries and essentials benefit, which is soon coming into effect. The first payments will be issued on June 5. That will mean up to $1,800 for 12 million of the most vulnerable Canadians in the country. We are not stopping there. There is also the Canadian dental care plan, the Canada child benefit and the 10¢-a-litre break on gas prices. My colleague talked about the Prime Minister’s travels. Canada has signed 20 trade and security agreements on four continents. These are contracts in Canada. There was a trade surplus in March. As my colleague was saying, this is also the biggest contract in the history of Airbus in Canada.”
