Mr. Speaker, we understand that affordability matters to Canadians and we absolutely understand that Canadians living in rural and northern communities face particular challenges. That is why our government has taken action and is providing support that is arriving to Canadians right now. Let me talk about the Canada workers benefit. We have increased it by $9 billion over five years. The first increased support arrived this April. It is providing a family of three up to $2,300. There are minimum wage workers in northern Saskatchewan.
