“More people have jobs, and the government is sending families extra money for groceries. How is our economic plan helping Canadians now and in the future?”
“Mr. Speaker, last Friday, families in my riding of Milton East—Halton Hills South woke up to good news. May’s labour force survey showed robust job gains, which is a promising sign that our economic plan is bearing fruit. Also, the CRA began issuing payments under our government’s enhanced Canada groceries and essentials benefit, which is equal to a 50% increase over the previous GST credit. Can the Secretary of State for the CRA and Financial Institutions update this House on how our economic plan is setting a long-term trajectory for growth and resilience, while also making life more affordable for Canadians here and now?”
