Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the question from my colleague, whom I was pleased to work with on the Standing Committee on Finance. I also appreciated his speech earlier. I will start off by mentioning that I am not the NDP leader. I am the NDP House leader. I just had to make a slight correction there. The NDP always makes sure that the benefits that Canadians count on continue to be there. That is why the member for Burnaby South worked to ensure that the GST credit was doubled a few months ago and has done so again with respect to this bill. Certainly we will continue to keep watch, because we want Canadians across Canada, including in Joliette, to have the ability to pay for groceries. Dental care is also very important in a riding like Joliette and across the country. We will continue to exert pressure for that to be implemented. In my speech, I mentioned my constituent Joanne, who was experiencing a lot of tooth pain. By the end of the year, she will have access to dental care for the first time in her life as a senior. That is what we are bringing to the House when it comes to accountability. The NPD continues to exert pressure for people like Joanne and millions of others who have been abandoned by the old parties.
