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, I would like to thank my colleague from Halifax West for all her hard work. Our government understands very well that students and recent graduates need financial support. That is exactly what we have done. We recently announced that interest on federal student loans would be forgiven. This saves young people nearly $410 a year. Our government has always been there for Canadians. I would like to point out that the Conservatives voted against these measures. Shame on them.
