Mr. Speaker, during these difficult times around the world, the budget tells Canadians they can continue to count on the government being at their side.
We will meet the challenge posed today and in the future by introducing a new grocery rebate that will benefit 11 million Canadians. We will increase payments for the health system.
We will invest in the future of our economy. We will lay the cornerstone for a strong economy and a strong future. It is our duty, and we will do it for and with Canadians.
