Mr. Speaker, yes, we both represent rural ridings, and the areas we cover are large. When we go door to door, sometimes the distance between two homes is greater than it is in a city centre.
The cost of living is also a challenge in rural areas. People have asked for meaningful action, and they welcome the news about the tax cut. There have also been repeated calls to expand the Canadian dental care plan to include all age groups. When I was knocking on doors, people told me that they wanted the Canadian dental care plan to be expanded and that they wanted concrete measures on housing. A first step was announced today with the elimination of the GST on the purchase of a first home.
However, let us not forget that our platform includes one of the most ambitious housing plans that Canada has ever seen. We will get to work quickly to meet Canadians' expectations. I am not worried. After just a few weeks, I think we can see that the results are there. We are taking action to make life more affordable and address the concerns of Canadians.
