Today, members of the Sudbury community joined Patty Hajdu, Member of Parliament for Thunder Bay-Superior North and Minister of Indigenous Services; Viviane Lapointe, Member of Parliament for Sudbury; and Marc G. Serré, Member of Parliament for Nickel Belt and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Official Languages; at the Lockerby Legion Branch 564 to highlight Budget 2023's investments in new, targeted inflation relief for the most vulnerable Canadians to support them with the cost of living.
To make life more affordable, Budget 2023 delivers the new Grocery Rebate, offering targeted inflation relief for 11 million Canadians and families who need it most, with up to an additional $467 for eligible couples with children; an additional $234 for single Canadians without children; and an additional $225 for seniors, on average.
Jennifer Huard, President of the Lockerby Legion Branch 564, joined the MPs to discuss how the new Grocery Rebate included in Budget 2023 will benefit seniors and other members of the Sudbury community.
By focusing the Grocery Rebate on the Canadians who need it most, the government will be able to provide important relief without making inflation worse. The Grocery Rebate will be delivered through a one-time payment from the Canada Revenue Agency as soon as possible following the passage of legislation.
