“Thousands of people in the member's riding get money from our programs for child care, dental care, and groceries. He voted against these programs. I want him to stop giving speeches and start voting for things that help his voters.”
“Mr. Speaker, I do not have their names, but there are 13,586 families in his riding who are getting their share of the $101 million from the Canada child benefit, which he voted against. I do not have their names, but there are 13,500 families who depend on it. I do not have their names, but there are 39,000 people in his riding who benefit from the Canadian dental care plan. I do not have their names, but tens of thousands of his constituents are benefiting from the new Canada groceries and essentials benefit. I urge him to stop making grand speeches in the House and start voting for his people.”
