Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech even though it made me scratch my head a few times.
Since she raised the subject of poverty, has she asked poor people in her riding who are now receiving the Canada child benefit, an extremely generous, tax-free benefit that will lift 300,000 children out of poverty, whether that benefit has made things better for them? Has she told seniors who receive the guaranteed income supplement that they will receive nearly $1,000 more thanks to our government?
She is welcome to speak passionately about poverty and people, but she needs to acknowledge that this government has done some good things.
