Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to talk to Canadians through the House about what we plan on doing.
We were clear that we wanted to improve the lives of middle-class Canadians and those striving to get in it. Therefore, we put measures in our budget, such as reducing taxes, taking the child care benefit and making it better for families that really needed it. We are helping them today.
We talked last night about long-term investments, investments that would improve our growth rate, change so future generations would be better off.
We are facing up to the challenge of a low-growth environment left to us by the previous government.
