Thank you, Chair.
I want to talk briefly about our tax plan and the good news in my riding. In 2008, one of our mills closed down because of competition and the opportunities with more trade. The mill locally put in $25 million, and the community re-employed approximately 250 workers. So I think our plan is working.
Canadians saw the budget in March, and they had an opportunity to spend many months looking at it. I think they have given us a strong mandate to move forward with many of the measures. I'm really pleased with how things have been going in the riding that I represent, but I also see it across the country.
The NDP, I think, typically likes to think there are no measures that will help everyday Canadians in this budget. They seem to think there's nothing there.
As a former health caregiver, I see many items in this budget that I think are very, very important. I have to look, first of all, at the new family caregiver tax credit, which is a 15% non-refundable credit on an amount of $2,000, providing relief to caregivers. We certainly know that more and more often we have challenges in that area. Many families are facing those challenges. We've seen the very, very positive response from the Canadian Caregiver Coalition.
Can you briefly talk about the family caregiver tax credit in Bill C-13 and how it will help caregivers in Canada?
