According to the 2011 census, 35,000 families with children in Richmond Hill will benefit from these new measures to help make life more affordable. That means nearly $40 million will go back to Richmond Hill families alone.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3868475\" data-originallang=\"en\">My constituents are thrilled, including those who were in attendance at yesterday's announcement. Parents like Mehrdad Sabouhi and Ellie Moaveni commend the government for helping families with the costs of raising children, and Ernie Henderson of the Richmond Hill Soccer Club will see its 6,000 or so families with children and youth directly benefit.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3868476\" data-originallang=\"en\">Richmond Hill and all of Canada is benefiting from our government's continued focus on helping hard-working Canadians make ends meet.</p>",

Selon les donn\u00e9es du recensement de 2011, 35 000 familles de Richmond Hill pourront profiter de ces mesures qui rendent le co\u00fbt de la vie plus abordable. Dans Richmond Hill seulement, les familles r\u00e9cup\u00e9reront pr\u00e8s de 40 millions de dollars.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3868475\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les gens de ma circonscription, y compris ceux qui assistaient \u00e0 l'annonce d'hier, sont absolument ravis. Parmi tous ceux qui profiteront directement de ces changements, j'aimerais mentionner Mehrdad Sabouhi et Ellie Moaveni, qui remercient le gouvernement d'aider les familles \u00e0 assumer les co\u00fbts associ\u00e9s aux enfants, et Ernie Henderson, du club de soccer de Richmond Hill, un club qui dessert environ 6 000 familles comptant des enfants et des jeunes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3868476\" data-originallang=\"en\">Notre gouvernement demeure r\u00e9solu \u00e0 aider les travailleurs canadiens \u00e0 joindre les deux bouts, pour le plus grand bien des gens de Richmond Hill et de l'ensemble du Canada.</p>"
