Jean-Yves Duclos Liberal
“We cut income taxes for 22 million Canadians, but the Conservatives opposed it. We are also helping people who struggle the most, like feeding more than 10,000 students in my area so they can learn.”
“Mr. Speaker, in fact, we are doing two things. First, we reduced income tax for 22 million Canadians, which is quite a large number. It has been, unfortunately, opposed by the Conservatives. The second thing we are doing is helping those who struggle more than richer Canadians. The member has heard my list of measures. For example, the national school food program is helping thousands, in fact more than 10,000 children in my region, who otherwise would struggle to go to school with a full belly and therefore would also struggle to learn what they need to learn to become good citizens.”
