Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for raising the issue of affordability and the Quebec City region. She is a brand new MP, so she may not know that her Conservative Party colleagues voted against the Canada child benefit in 2016, before her time. Tens of thousands of children and families receive a tax-free cheque every month, lifting 40% of the people in her riding out of poverty. Would she choose to vote against the Canada child benefit too?
