Mr. Speaker, instead of the members opposite focusing on fake taxes, they should support things that actually put a few extra bucks in the pockets of hard-working Canadians.
As a former single mother and a person who lived paycheque to paycheque for most of my life, I can tell the House that what helps parents, what helps families, is having money in their pockets. When we index things such as the Canada child benefit to inflation, that puts money in the pockets of Canadians. They can then use it to buy the things they need. It is pretty simple, but it is really hard for these Conservatives to understand.
