Madam Speaker, I want to respond to the comment about helping citizens cope with the rising costs.
I would argue that working to reduce the cost of everyday items that are needed to live would help Canadians cope. A one-time $500 cheque that would be written would not increase that person's long-term paycheque and would not decrease the costs of natural gas, food and other things.
We need to work to ensure there is more of the things that we need and less government.
