Marilyn Gladu Liberal
“Our government has done a lot to make life more affordable. We cut gas prices by 28 cents a litre, lowered taxes for 22 million people, created 10-dollar-a-day child care, gave families an 1,800-dollar grocery rebate, and cancelled the consumer carbon tax. I want the member to admit that these things help.”
“Mr. Speaker, the member opposite is acting like the government has done nothing on affordability, but I can think of a myriad of things, including reducing costs by 28¢ a litre at the pumps, a tax break for 22 million that the Conservatives supported, the child care benefit, the $10-a-day child care that is saving thousands of dollars for families, a grocery rebate of $1,800 per family and the cancelling of the consumer carbon tax, which I personally had been calling for, for about a decade. Would the member not agree that these measures are helping affordability?”
