Mr. Speaker, I think they might want to listen.
We are relentlessly focused on what we can control: delivering targeted support where it matters most while our economic plan takes hold, a boost today and a bridge to tomorrow to ease the cost of living for Canadians.
On June 5, more than 12 million Canadians will receive additional support through the new Canada groceries and essentials benefit. Millions more are already benefiting from our middle-class tax cut and automatic federal benefits, ensuring they receive the support they need. The suspended federal fuel excise tax on gas and diesel across Canada aims to reduce Canadians' bills by up to 10¢ per litre on regular gasoline and four cents per litre on diesel. That relief is already being felt by consumers.
Four hundred thousand children have access to healthy meals, while their parents are saving $800 a year on groceries, because we worked with the Prime Minister to make the national school food program permanent. First-time home buyers are saving up to $50,000 since we eliminated the goods and services tax on homes priced at $1 million or under, and over nine million Canadians can now access affordable dental care through the Canadian dental care plan.
From the beginning, we have placed people and affordability at the centre of our economic plan because we know that these pressures are real and demand immediate action, because we believe in a Canada for all indeed. This brings me to the spring economic update that Canada's new government is tabling today.
Our objective is clear: to build a stronger, more independent, more resilient economy. That work begins by investing in our future and by giving Canadians the opportunity to take part in building it.
Through our flagship Canada Strong fund, we are creating Canada's first national sovereign wealth fund, something Canadians should all be proud of under the current government. This is a historic moment. Generations will look back at the Prime Minister, the government and the current Parliament and say that we were there for them. We are building long-term wealth and growth.
