Mr. Speaker, on Sunday, I was speaking with Myles, a resident in my beautiful riding of Pierrefonds—Dollard. Myles is a young man of 33. He works in transport; he is also super-fit and in training for the Highland Games.
Myles and I were talking about how our Liberal government is making life more affordable and how people have been lifted out of poverty. Myles says he actually sees it. He sees it in his neighbourhood. He sees how our Liberal policies are making an impact and putting a dent in poverty. This is proved by the numbers.
When the Conservatives left office in 2015, 13.5% of Quebeckers were living in poverty, whereas, today, the poverty rate is only 6.6%.
We have dental care, pharmacare and the child benefit. We kept the age of retirement at 65.
These are Liberal policies. We are working for Myles and all Canadians.
