Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, thank you for being here today to talk to this very important bill.
I was very happy over the weekend to get a chance to go to my first tree lighting. I had a chance to meet and talk to a lot of Davenport residents, who talked to me about what was top of mind for them. Affordability and economic issues were top of mind for them.
My first question to you is this: How does the bill we're talking about, Bill C-56, alleviate some of the economic difficulties that Canadians, such as those in my riding of Davenport, are facing today?
