Charles Sousa Liberal
“Our government is helping Canadians who need it most. We cut taxes for the middle class, gave people money for food, paused the fuel tax, and cut the sales tax for first-time homebuyers. The opposition member voted against all of this help.”
“Mr. Speaker, the member opposite brings up a very important point, which is that during these moments of challenge, it is important for the government to stand by Canadian citizens, especially those who are most vulnerable. What has the government done? We have made middle-income tax cuts, which the opposition member did not approve. We provided the groceries and essentials benefit program. We eliminated the GST for first-time homebuyers. We are putting a pause on the fuel excise tax. We have also launched the automatic federal benefits program to provide more support for those very individuals. The member opposite did not support those measures to help her constituents.”
