Mr. Speaker, our colleague is right. Since February 28, the price of gas—at least in my neck of the woods—has climbed from $1.45 a litre to about $2 a litre. This is because the price of oil has increased from $60 a barrel to almost $120 a barrel. The problem is the war in the Middle East.
In the meantime, we have rolled out a suite of measures to help Canadians, including the Canada child benefit. As my colleague said earlier, the Canada child benefit provides $8,000 per family.
