Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I am pleased because we do not get to hear from him very often.
The NDP suggested a GST holiday on basic necessities. Unfortunately, the Liberals' measure will last for only two months. We would have wanted it to be permanent. They also presented another measure: a $250 cheque for workers, which could be a good thing, but seniors and retirees are excluded because they do not have any employment income.
I hope my colleague will work hard to resolve this problem and help the people and seniors who really need it.
