Discussion · Government Orders
Kevin Lamoureux Liberal
“Our programs for dental care, medicine, and groceries help make life more affordable. I want the member to share her ideas on other ways the government can help people with high costs.”
“Mr. Speaker, that was a really nice comment, I must say. I would look to the leader of the Green Party. I can appreciate some sensitivity on the issue that is up for debate today from the Green Party’s perspective. I am wondering if the member could provide some of her thoughts on how indirectly government can support people on the issue. I have talked a great deal about, for example, the dental program, the pharmacare program and the grocery benefit program. Does she have any further thoughts on the issue of affordability and ways, whether direct or indirect, that the government can look at them?”
