Thank you, Mr. Speaker, through you to the member opposite for that question. I’m sure the member opposite was here in the House on Monday when we tabled the fall economic statement, which is helping many people who are struggling. Many people are feeling the pinch at the grocery store. Many people are feeling the pinch at the pumps, feeling the pinch with rent and with mortgage rates going up on housing.

That’s why we moved early to provide relief, increasing minimum wage, increasing the income tax rebate so that people making a lower income can take more money in their pockets. It’s why we gave the licence plate stickers back. It’s why the Minister of Housing is getting houses built so there can be affordable housing in Ontario. It’s why we doubled the Guaranteed Annual Income System for over 200,000 low-income seniors in this province. It’s why we increased the earning exemptions for people on Ontario disability from $200 to $1,000, many of whom said that is a game-changer for people on disability.
