Mr. Speaker, today is a great day for Canadians. We are talking about helping Canadians with affordability and with the cost of living right now by having a $500 top-up to the Canada housing benefit, introducing a new Canada dental benefit plan and also making sure we double the GST credit. If we look at the 2020 budget, the 2021 budget and the 2022 budget, this Liberal government has been making life more affordable for Canadians, including child care and including the Canada workers benefit. The government is delivering for Canadians, and that is what Canadians expect.

Mr. Speaker, just today we introduced in the House two bills that will make life more affordable for Canadians. Specifically, we are providing a new dental plan for Canadians, topping up the housing benefit and doubling the GST/HST credit. This is in addition to all the measures in the 2022 budget. We are here to support Canadians. That is exactly what we are going to do.

Mr. Speaker, taken together, the measures we outlined today and in budget 2022 are aimed at helping Canadians who need it most. Let us look at the numbers. A family earning $70,000 will get $650 from the dental plan alone. Families that earn between $70,000 and $80,000 will get $390 per child per year. That is real money in the pockets of Canadians.
