Mr. Speaker, it is always an honour and privilege to represent the good people in my riding of Waterloo. It has been interesting because in my inbox, I am receiving several emails. I am receiving emails in regard to some of the challenging times Canadians are facing, and they see that in budget 2025, there is opportunity. They see some ability and some hope. They appreciate the national school food program. They appreciate that it would become a permanent program in Canada, not only for the days when times are tough, but for when they are not so tough. There are always going to be some families that struggle, and a program like that can ensure we help some of the most vulnerable in society.
They look at the measures for homes, for people to build their first homes. They look at the ability to actually see that the Canadian Armed Forces are going to get the supports they deserve and need. I know this member served in uniform, and I thank him for his service to this country, as well as all men and women in uniform.
