“The member complains about the cost of living, but he voted against help for families. He voted against child benefits, dental care, grocery rebates, tax cuts, and school food programs that help thousands of people in his own riding and province.”
“Mr. Speaker, could my colleague explain to Jessy why he voted against the Canada child benefit? In his own riding, that benefit helps 24,000 children, who receive $100 million every year, which is roughly $4,600 per child. He voted against that. Could he explain to Jessy why he voted against dental care for 39,000 people in his own riding? Could he explain why he voted against the Canada groceries and essentials benefit, against a tax cut for 22 million Canadians and against the national school food program, which helps 100,000 children in Quebec by providing roughly $800 per family? It boggles the mind.”
