Mr. Speaker, in the last election when I was knocking on doors, some of the households had received a cheque from the previous government's child benefit plan. The problem was that they had spent that cheque, and I felt bad when I had to inform them that actually they would be paying tax back on that cheque.
The new Canada child benefit, I understand, is tax free, and I would like to hear from my colleague how that will have a better impact for middle-class families.
