OTTAWA — The Liberals moved forward on their promised financial help for Canada's lowest-income families on Tuesday, introducing bills to expand the GST, housing and dental benefits within minutes of the House of Commons kicking off its fall sitting.
But even as government House leader Mark Holland pleaded for political calm and co-operation from opposition parties, he criticized new Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for what Holland said was an unserious cryptocurrency solution to the affordability problem."This is not a time for shell games. This is a time for real solutions."
Holland said the Conservatives have now delayed their own private member's bill to develop a plan to grow cryptocurrencies. That bill, put forward by Alberta MP Michelle Rempel Garner in February, was supposed to come up for its second hour of debate on Tuesday afternoon. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, whose party will support the new measures after pushing all three policies as positive solutions for months, said the Liberals spent too long dismissing the problem as not their fault.
