“Experts agree our government manages money well. Conservatives want to cut help for child care, child benefits, and school food. We believe the government should keep these programs to help Canadians.”
“Mr. Speaker, the International Monetary Fund has affirmed, as we know, the sound fiscal framework that the government has embraced. That is also true of the key rating agencies. My colleagues keep talking about a credit card. Yes, there are Canadians, young Canadians included, who do have credit card debt. Conservatives want to make it worse by forcing Canadians to not receive the Canada child benefit, to not receive support for child care and to not receive support for the school food program. Conservatives want Canadians to pay for these. In this country, we believe that government has a role in fundamentally making sure that Canadians have a chance. That is exactly what these programs do.”
