Mr. Speaker, many Canadians across the country are worried about their future. Groceries are more expensive, so are housing and basic amenities. Many students and recent graduates are among those who are worried. They are just starting out in life, facing these uncertain and inflationary times without much in terms of savings to fall back on. Can the minister tell us what meaningful steps our government is taking to help students and recent graduates put some money aside and help them get off to a good start?

Mr. Speaker, the season for handing out diplomas has come. I applaud the hard work of the students graduating from our post-secondary institutions, including Saint Mary's University in Halifax. My daughter Marena is one of them, as she is about to receive her bachelor of science degree with a major in biology and a minor in French. I also applaud the dedication of the faculty and staff who guide our future leaders in their respective fields. I would especially like to mention the Centre international d'études françaises, which offered my daughter instruction in the French language and culture. She participated in study abroad programs at the Université catholique de l'Ouest in Angers, France. As a proud alumna of Saint Mary's University, I know that the time all students spend at this university sets them up for success. To one and all, I offer my heartfelt congratulations.
