Mr. Speaker, when Conservatives talk about affordability, what they really mean are cuts: cuts to the programs that Canadians vitally rely on.
Parents and families know they can trust that our government has their back. We strengthened the Canada child benefit, providing families nearly $8,000 for children under six years old and $6,570 for children aged six to 17. Through the budget, we are making permanent the national school food program, which will give parents the peace of mind of sending their kids to school for a full meal.
What the member was really referring to was that the only thing recycled on the other side of the House is the Conservatives' slogans.
