Mr. Speaker, budget 2024 promises to deliver a vision for Canada that is fairer and more affordable for every generation. In my riding of Mississauga—Erin Mills, residents, especially younger generations, deserve a fair chance of purchasing their own homes. That is why budget 2024 proposes an ambitious plan to invest into more affordable housing initiatives to unlock 3.87 million more homes by 2031 for Canadians. Budget 2024 is also investing $1 billion into the national school food program to the benefit of over 400,000 Canadian children, so no child in this country goes to school hungry. As we know, full bellies lead to sharper minds. There are so many aspects of budget 2024 that work toward strengthening our middle class, and I encourage all members in the House to support this budget.
