Madam Chair, examining estimates provides members of the House the opportunity to examine the government's finances in granular detail, but if we take a step back, I would also like to ask the minister some macro-level questions.
Just as he was also sent here, London West residents sent me to the House to make sure that our government takes concrete measures to make life more affordable. Can the finance minister expand on the steps that the government has recently taken to make life more affordable for Canadians and how it would impact the Canadian economy and our finances going forward?
