Gregor Robertson Liberal
“We are helping people with the cost of living. We give families money for groceries, rents are going down, and first-time homebuyers do not pay GST. We are also lowering gas prices while the opposition only complains.”
“Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the member’s highlighting the fact that the Canada groceries and essentials benefit is providing up to $1,900 to a family of four, which is very significant. Just as we are seeing rents come down, we are providing the opportunity for young Canadians to not pay GST on first-time home purchases. Whether it is housing, whether it is groceries or whether it is the price of gas, we are taking action. We hear nothing but complaining from the other side.”
