Mr. Speaker, Canadians are going hungry. Canadians are going to lose their homes because the cost of living is going up. The Minister of Finance made an announcement today that does not include anything new to help Canadians now. In fact, what a lot of Canadians will receive from this announcement is $7. Seven dollars extra does not even pay for a litre of milk and a loaf of bread. Will the government finally realize people need immediate help and increase the financial support to families, everyday families who need help, by $500 to $1,000, as we are calling for?

Mr. Speaker, these are tough times, and Canadians are struggling to make ends meet. The Minister of Finance announced more help for a lot of Canadians: an extra $7. Seven dollars will not make much of a difference to all the people who do not have enough to buy groceries. When will the government adopt our plan to increase financial support for people by $500 to $1,000, which would really help families in these tough times?
