Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her question. Finally, someone asked me a good question. My colleague is right to highlight this initiative.
Last Friday, June 5, 12 million Canadians received the new Canada groceries and essentials benefit, including three million Quebeckers. For a family of four, this can amount to up to $1,890 a year to help cover the cost of groceries.
That was not the only good news last Friday. Canada has created 88,000 jobs and, for the 38th consecutive month, wages are rising faster than inflation.
Our plan to build a strong Canada and a prosperous economy for everyone is working.
