“Over the last 18 months, our government has helped people with the high cost of living. We gave seniors dental care, fed 400,000 children at school, gave money for groceries, and cut taxes. I want to know if the NDP supports these things.”
“Mr. Speaker, on the issue of affordability, over the last 18 months the government has taken a number of initiatives, many of them to address some of the concerns the member has raised. We have heard a great deal about our seniors, for example, and the dental care program. Every so often we hear about the national school nutrition program, which helps 400,000 children. There are other initiatives that we may not have heard much about, such as the groceries and essentials benefit program or the tax cut, all of which were designed to help with affordability. Does the NDP support the initiatives the government has taken to date on the issue of affordability?”
