World Milk Day  Mr. Speaker, on Saturday, June 1, we are celebrating World Milk Day. To the nearly 10,000 dairy farms and the more than 500 processing plants in Canada, I say thank you. These men and women get up at dawn every day, put on their work boots and do an incredible job to feed Canadians with the quality products we are celebrating.

Agriculture and Agri-Food  Mr. Speaker, after nine years of this Liberal Prime Minister, supported by the Bloc Québécois, and his $500 billion in inflationary, centralizing spending, one in five farms is unable to pay its debts. Our farmers are making a heartfelt plea to the government. The Liberals are making things worse for farmers by making cuts to funding for 4-H clubs across Canada.

Agriculture and Agri-Food  Mr. Speaker, after nine years of this Prime Minister, excessive spending and anti-agricultural policies are driving our farmers into bankruptcy. According to the Union des producteurs agricoles, one in five farms is no longer able to pay its debts. With the help of the Bloc Québécois, the government is stifling our agricultural sector by blocking Bill C‑234 and voting for centralizing and inflationary spending.

Agriculture and Agri-Food  Mr. Speaker, what a classic answer by the Liberal minister. The Liberals sit in their limousines, disconnected from reality, while Canadians are going hungry because of this Prime Minister and his Bloc Québécois partners. Clearly, they are not worth the cost. In my riding, the number of people using food banks has reached a record high of one in four.

Housing  Madam Speaker, after nine years of this Bloc-Liberal government, the housing crisis is reaching unparalleled proportions. This July 1 will go down in history, but for all the wrong reasons. The crisis is not limited to large urban centres. It affects the regions as well. An article published in this morning's La Presse says that Quebec's association of police chiefs has noticed a significant rise in homelessness.

Finance  Madam Speaker, rents were half as expensive then. It took nine years for this government to get its act together. After nine years of this Bloc Québécois-backed government, they voted for $500 billion in centralizing, inflationary spending that is driving up prices across the board, pushing more people into homelessness across Canada.

Finance  Mr. Speaker, after nine years of this Bloc-Liberal government, because the Bloc Québécois voted for $500 billion in budget allocations and for centralizing, inflationary spending that has hiked up the price of everything, including housing, interest rates and food, everything is more costly, even voting for the Bloc Québécois.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I do not know whether my colleague is like me. I was hoping that there would be something new in the budget. There was nothing for the agriculture and agri-food industry in the fall economic statement. There was nothing in that economic statement, just like there is not much more in the current budget.

Housing  Mr. Speaker, after nine years of this government, the housing crisis in Canada keeps getting worse. The dream of buying a home is dead for future generations. It is proof that the Bloc Québécois and this Prime Minister are not worth the cost. In Beauce, families who are lucky enough to have affordable housing still have to use a food bank to feed themselves.

Housing  Mr. Speaker, I would invite my colleague across the way to come to Beauce next weekend and explain that to people and see how things work out. The more the government spends, the more Quebeckers are struggling. We are talking about $500 billion in centralizing, inflationary spending that is only worsening the housing crisis.

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, at the end of her speech, my colleague talked about creating two classes of seniors. I would like her to elaborate on this topic because we have discussed it a number of times in the House. What is her opinion on the matter? I understand that she is calling for changes to old age security, but maybe there would be no need to ask if the government just decided to take action.

Finance  Mr. Speaker, after nine years of this Prime Minister, who is not worth the cost, his wasteful spending habits have not changed. As a result, interest rates remain extremely high, as was confirmed yesterday by the Governor of the Bank of Canada, Tiff Macklem. Back home in Beauce, food bank use has risen by 20% since the start of the year, proof that voting for the Bloc Québécois is costly.

Bruno Gilbert  Mr. Speaker, on June 6, part of the world will gather to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landing. This moment of courage, sacrifice and solidarity marked an important turning point in the history of the Second World War. More than a hundred thousand men, filled with fear, landed on this beach to confront the enemy.

Carbon pricing.  Madam Speaker, after nine years of this Prime Minister, who is not worth the cost, farmers are making an impassioned plea. This morning, they are protesting in large numbers in Beauce to show their anger at a government that is completely out of touch with reality. Our farmers are being asked to fill our pantries while the Bloc-Liberal coalition is preventing the passage of Bill C-234, which would remove the carbon tax on the propane and natural gas needed to heat buildings and dry grain in order to bring down the cost of food.

Carbon pricing.  Madam Speaker, speaking of people who are out of touch, they are providing a very clear illustration of that this morning. I invite the government and the Bloc Québécois to go to Beauce today to tell the farmers that the carbon tax has no impact in Quebec. I have room in my car if they want to get in after question period.
