Mr. Chair, as I have said, the family benefit program overwhelmingly would benefit low and middle-income Canadians. Two-thirds of the benefits would go to them, and 25% would go to families earning less than $30,000 a year. It is expected that families will save on average $1,140 per year from this package. Thanks to measures introduced by our government, the average Canadian family currently will receive up to $6,600 this year.
