“Our programs help Canadians with the rising cost of living. Next week, people will start getting a benefit for groceries and essentials. A family of four will get $1,900 this year. Recent polls show Canadians feel good about the country's direction.”

“Mr. Speaker, we have many programs that are helping Canadians deal with the rising cost of living. In fact, next week Canadians will start to receive Canada’s new groceries and essentials benefit. For a family of four, that is $1,900 this year. That is real money that is going to help Canadians face the rising cost of living. A few days ago, there was a poll released that shows that Canadians’ optimism, their sense that Canada is moving in the right direction, is at its highest level in over a decade.”

“The member says he supports families, but he voted against cheaper child care. Our child care program saves Alberta families over $10,000 a year. We also improved parental leave, brought in paid sick days, and supported equal pay for women. He opposed all of those things.”

“Mr. Speaker, it is a bit rich for that member to stand up and talk about supports for parents and families, when he does not support affordable early learning and child care in his very province. It is a program that is delivering for thousands of children right across the province and saving families in Alberta over $10,000 on the cost of their child care in a given year. On this side of the House, we have enhanced maternity and paternity benefits. We have brought in paid sick days. We have increased pay equity for women and for families. That member has stood against all of those measures.”
