The Liberal minister replied that the Conservatives voted against measures such as the Canada child benefit, school food programs, disability support, and grocery help, and said the government will keep supporting Canadian families.Written by AI from the debate.

Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I was just saying we will take no lessons from that leader. At every step of the way, since he has been on these benches, whenever we presented a motion to support Canadians, he voted against. Conservatives voted against the Canada child benefit. They voted against the national school food program. They voted against the Canada disability program. They voted against the Canada groceries and essentials benefit. Canadians know we have their backs. We will always support families, always support Canadians, and every day is a good day to fight for Canadians.
