Patty Hajdu, Minister of Jobs and Families and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario
“Our benefits go up as the cost of living rises. We stand up for Canadians every day. The member opposite votes against support for seniors, children, and young people every chance she gets.”
“Mr. Speaker, Mark will be very happy to know that we index all our benefits to inflation. In fact, I wonder if Mark knows that the member is voting against his interests every time she stands up in the House. I wonder if Mark knows that every time we strengthen our social safety nets, not just for seniors but for children and the next generation as well, she votes against those people too. On this side, we are going to stand up for Canadians. It is what we have been doing every day, despite the Conservatives.”
