Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my hon. colleague on being re-elected and for also being reappointed a parliamentary secretary.
As a result of reducing over 120 taxes over the last five years since the Conservative government came to power, the average Canadian family has over $3,000 extra in its pocket at the end of each year. That is $3,000 that it can spend on its children's education, that it can spend to look after its children and enhance their childhood. These are important measures.
We have also given tax credits for the arts so children can be enrolled in arts programs and cultural programs. We are also extending caregiver tax credits so family members can look after other family members who need it most.
Those are just some of the programs that we have introduced to help families.
