Steven MacKinnon Liberal
“I want the member to explain why he opposes our programs that save Canadians thousands of dollars. He votes against cheaper child care, tax cuts, and the child benefit.”
“Mr. Speaker, we know why this member asks all the questions. It is to save him writing the questions out for all the other members of the bench who do not get to ask the questions. While we are asking questions, when is that member going to answer why he would refuse saving Canadians thousands of dollars on child care? When is he going to justify his opposition to reducing taxes for Canadians? When is he going to justify his opposition to creating the Canada child benefit? All of these things save Canadians thousands of dollars. Why is he against them?”
