The only thing that changes on that side is leaders. They have had six of them in the past 10 years. It is probably soon to be seven.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9233282\" data-originallang=\"en\">On this side of the House, we are focused on affordability. We have cut taxes for 22 million Canadians. We have introduced the groceries and essentials benefit, which is going to put up to $1,900 in the pockets of working families.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9233283\" data-originallang=\"en\">On this side of the House, we are going to continue to focus on affordability.
