Rachel Bendayan Liberal
“We are helping Canadians with the high cost of living. Yesterday, 12 million people got money from us to help buy food and basic needs. Our economy is also growing, with more jobs, higher wages, and more business investment.”
“Mr. Speaker, the cost of living remains a major concern for many Canadians, and we are taking action. Yesterday, 12 million Canadians received a direct payment as part of the Canada groceries and essentials benefit. That amounts to about $1,900 for a family of four over the course of the year. That makes a difference. We are also laying the groundwork to get the economy back on track. Economic growth is on the rise, jobs are on the rise, foreign investment is on the rise, and wages are rising for Canadian workers across the country.”
