Mr. Speaker, last week, the government announced the doubling of the GST credit as one of the measures to help vulnerable Canadians fight inflation. Can the Minister of Tourism and Associate Minister of Finance tell us more about this support measure?

Mr. Speaker, just last week we announced the doubling of the GST tax credit and we tabled that legislation today. What does it mean? We are talking about a single mom with one child and $30,000 of net income getting $1,160 through that credit. A single senior with $20,000 in net income will get $701. A couple with two children with $35,000 in take-home pay will get $1,401. That is real money in the pockets of real Canadians. That is responsible leadership.
