Mr. Speaker, let us put some numbers on the table, such as the 450,000 children who have been lifted out of poverty since we brought forward the Canada child benefit. Instead of sending cheques to millionaires, we are sending benefits to hard-working Canadian families who need that help. We understand the high cost of living. We understand the high cost of raising a family. That is why we have put more money in the pockets of Canadians than Conservatives have.

Mr. Speaker, we are providing real help to Canadian renters through the Canada housing benefit, which is already providing, on average, $2,500 to many vulnerable renters across the country. In recent legislation, we have introduced a top-up to that Canada housing benefit with a one-time payment of $500. If the member for Mission—Matsqui—Fraser Canyon cared about Canadian renters, he would speak to his colleague from Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan who played procedural games in this chamber to delay the passage of that real help, which is going towards vulnerable renters in Canada.
