“Our programs help over 12,000 families and 20,000 dental patients in the opposition member's area. The opposition keeps voting against this help. I want them to support these programs instead.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Canada child benefit is helping 12,700 families in my colleague’s riding. The members opposite vote against that program every single budget. In addition, more than 20,000 people in my colleague’s riding are receiving dental care, but he votes against this investment in dental care for children. We are here for families and for Canadians. We are helping those who need it. It would be nice if the members opposite would stand with us and support us in these measures.”
