Mr. Speaker, I can assure my hon. colleague that we understand the challenges that families are experiencing in our communities, but those families are right to ask who is actually fighting for them. Seniors who have earned their pensions, not just with their premiums but with decades of hard work, bad backs and busted joints, are facing an opposition leader who has a history of gutting their pensions. The Conservative Party has members who voted against removing the interest on student loans. Families who receive the Canada child benefit should know there is not one Conservative member of Parliament who voted to support them with thousands of dollars every year.
There are two choices: a Liberal government that will stand up for families and a Conservative leader who will stand up for himself.
