Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his question.
Many Canadians are struggling to make ends meet; that is true. What really baffles me is why he voted against the Canada child benefit. How is he going to explain that to Chantal, who lives in his riding? For a single mother with two children, that could add up to $8,000 or $10,000.
Why did he vote against Canada's national school food program, which is helping 100,000 vulnerable children in Quebec City and saving their families about $800. Why, at every turn, does he consistently vote against every affordability measure, whether the Canadian dental care plan or the Canada groceries and essentials benefit?
