'There is a recovery, a strong recovery, going on in this country but people are still struggling,' said Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair during appearance at City Meat Market Thursday
Sault Ste. Marie MP Terry Sheehan and Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair made a scheduled appearance at City Meat Market in the city’s downtown core Thursday morning to tout the grocery rebate that’s been proposed by the Liberals in the 2023 federal budget.
The proposed grocery rebate would see eligible couples with two children receiving up to an extra $467, single Canadians without children up to an extra $234 and seniors with an extra $225 on average. “We know that the vast majority of those 11 million Canadians are going to spend that money in a grocery store,” Blair said.
“It’s just a beautiful thing to have in our downtown, and it’s absolutely necessary to a thriving downtown,” Sheehan said.
