Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I want to respond to the comment about helping citizens cope with the rising costs.

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I would say that I am quite familiar with the northern stores and how the nutrition north program works.

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I, too, want to add my voice to the discussion around Bill C-30. In my lifetime, I have never experienced such inflationary times as these.
