Steven MacKinnon Liberal
“People are still struggling to afford daily life. That is why we sent a one-time payment to 12 million Canadians last Friday, including $543 for single people and $1,086 for families of four.”
“Mr. Speaker, despite the good news we received last Friday regarding employment and unemployment, we know that there are still people in this country who are struggling with affordability. That is why, also on Friday, the Canada groceries and essentials benefit was paid into the bank accounts of 12 million Canadians, providing $543 to single people and $1,086 to couples with two children. That is one-time assistance to Canadians who need it.”
