“We are making life more affordable for Canadians by cutting taxes and sending grocery rebates to 12 million people. We also fund child care, dental care, and school meals, which save families $20,000, even though the member opposite voted against them.”

“Mr. Speaker, there is a reason we have Hansard. This government will continue to work, without fail, to improve affordability for Canadians, cutting taxes on income and cutting taxes for first-time homebuyers. The groceries and essentials benefit’s next cheque is coming in October, with 12 million Canadians getting the benefit. Above all, we will be providing the essential social services that the member voted against, every single one: child care, dental care and the national school food program, with $20,000 of savings for Canadian families.”

“Wars in Ukraine, Iran, and trade fights with the United States are raising the cost of gas and groceries. We are helping Canadians by sending a cheque of up to $1,900 next month for a family of four, along with other benefits.”

“Mr. Speaker, what this government knows is that there are three wars affecting Canadians: the tariff war from the Americans, the war against Iran and the war against Ukraine. They are pushing up fuel prices. They are pushing up grocery prices, so we are providing immediate support to Canadians. The next groceries and essentials benefit cheque is coming next month, up to $1,900 for a family of four. Across that, we support Canadians with the school benefit and beyond.”

“The industrial carbon tax does not raise the price of groceries or fuel. Our clean fuel rules help canola farmers, and we are cutting taxes for businesses. The member opposite should vote for these measures.”

“Mr. Speaker, let us walk through those in order. With the industrial carbon tax, the impact on groceries is zero. The impact of clean fuel regulations on a bushel of canola is over a dollar. For a bushel of canola in Battle River—Crowfoot, it is over a dollar. The impact on fuel prices is zero. This government is cutting taxes for business. The head of the CFIB praised the productivity mega deduction. I look forward to the member opposite voting in favour.”
