“We have helped bring the child poverty rate down from 16% in 2015 to below 10% today. I want the member to tell me where he would cut the budget.”
“Mr. Speaker, in 2015, according to another statistic I would like to remind my colleague of, the child poverty rate was 16%. Today, it has fallen below 10%. That is exactly what we are doing: We are lifting people out of poverty. Although I know it is my colleague’s turn to ask a question, I would like him to tell me where he would make budget cuts. Every day, we are told that we are doing nothing right. Could my colleague tell me where he would make cuts?”
