Mr. Speaker, our government knows that, even though Canadians work hard, many of them are still struggling financially.
That is why we introduced the new working Canadians rebate last week. This tax-free $500 payment will go directly to more than 18 million Canadians. If people worked in 2023 and earned up to $150,000, this rebate is for them. This is meaningful support that Canadians who work hard every day can use to pay bills, buy groceries or save for the future.
In addition to our GST/HST holiday exemption for essential goods, such as groceries, diapers and children's clothing, our government is enabling Canadians to save a lot of money and get real relief at the cash register. I hope all members will work hard to get these important measures passed.
