Mr. Speaker, we are calling for long-term, permanent solutions to affordability. Programs and handouts do not address long-term affordability issues. They do not target the cost of living. A handout will not address the cost of living. This is something the member must understand.
What Conservatives are calling for are permanent, long-term solutions, removing the taxes that are driving up the cost of everything, encouraging hard work and encouraging Canadians to actually keep their money, to be responsible, to open up businesses and to create wealth. That is how we grow the economy permanently, not through short-term programs.
The reality with the program the member opposite mentioned is that only one out of 20 kids benefits from it.
