“Our government has already lowered taxes and gas prices, ended the carbon tax, and created programs for groceries, school food, child care, and dental care. I want the Conservative leader to support our full plan to make life cheaper.”
“Madam Speaker, I think it is important that the leader of the Conservative Party get a bit of a reality check. Under 18 months ago, when the Prime Minister was elected, one of the very first actions he did was to reduce middle-class taxes. Twenty-two million Canadians benefited from it. We can talk about the excise gas tax relief today, of 10¢ a litre. We can talk about how the Prime Minister got rid of the carbon tax. We can also talk about the Canadian grocery benefit. These are some of the direct benefits, not to mention benefits such as the national school food program or the child care enhancements, the dental program and the pharmacare enhancement. Why will the leader not support the entire package we brought forward to deal with the issue of affordability?”
