Mr. Speaker, this week Canadians across the country celebrate National Family Week. This is an opportunity for all of us to celebrate families and recognize their importance in our lives.
Strong families draw from and benefit the communities in which they live, work and play. Families are the building blocks of our society and our country. This government is committed to providing them with the support and recognition they deserve.
Canada's new government is helping families with the cost of kids' sports, public transit and everyday purchases.
We are there for farm families who need short term financial relief, while also looking at ways to improve income for the long term.
Millions of parents are now receiving direct support for child care through the universal child care benefit.
Canada's new government will continue supporting our country's future by supporting Canadian families. I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing National Family Week.
