“Our government lowered taxes for 22 million Canadians. We are also helping 12 million people pay for groceries. The member opposite voted against child benefits and dental care, even though tens of thousands of people in his own riding use those programs.”
“Mr. Speaker, I would like to point out that the first thing we did as a government was to lower taxes for 22 million Canadians. Help with groceries is also on the way for 12 million Canadians and will lower their weekly costs. I do not believe that my colleague supported the Canada child benefit, even though it is helping 11,400 families in his riding. Another 29,000 constituents of the Beauce community are also receiving dental care, a program that my colleague voted against.”
