Pharmacare Act  Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives can find all the excuses that they want to deny women access to free contraceptives, whether it has—

Pharmacare Act  Mr. Speaker, I continue to be heckled by a caucus that has a perfect score with the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada as being completely anti-choice. They can deal with that on their own time. We will stand with Canadians. We will stand with women, and we will stand for women's rights and reproductive rights.

Pharmacare Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. It is true that Quebec is a leader in Canada in many areas, including women's rights and reproduction. It is important to recognize when a province or territory is a leader or ahead of its time when it comes to important, progressive issues.

Pharmacare Act  Mr. Speaker, reproductive and sexual rights are human rights. Our government recognizes that, and we stand by it as a matter of principle. Members of the Conservative Party caucus can stand in the House and say they are not interested in pursuing anti-abortion legislation that would infringe upon women's reproductive rights; however, sadly, that conviction is far from a universally held one in the caucus.

Nature Conservation  Mr. Speaker, Canada is home to a quarter of the earth's wetlands, temperate rainforests and boreal forests, 20% of the world's fresh water and the longest coastline in the world. We have precious habitats for birds, fish and mammals. We have a special responsibility to the world, and we are doing our part.

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, like most members of Parliament, when I am home for the week, I usually get out and do a couple of school visits. Last week, I was lucky enough to go to Martin Street Public School, and I heard from some really smart fifth graders. To hear the member opposite suggest that fifth graders are not intelligent or do not have any business, suggesting that we should engage with them, I strongly disagree—

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, my point is that an average fifth grader knows that it is unproductive to heckle, name call and denigrate people on the basis of how much one person knows or another person knows. Does the member not know that it is the job of the Bank of Canada and the Governor of the Bank of Canada to think about and consider monetary policy?

2020 Shootings in Nova Scotia  Mr. Speaker, I withdraw the comment.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, when the Conservatives blame the cost of living crisis on carbon pricing and proven emissions reduction strategies, they are only serving the greedy corporate interests of billionaire grocery and oil and gas executives. There is no rebate on the provincial gas tax that Danielle Smith jacked up on Albertans on April 1.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, there was an election on the carbon tax. In fact, there were three of them. We won them all. Last election, the Conservatives ran on a promise with Erin O'Toole. Do members remember his little cover that he cared about the environment for a change? All of a sudden, Conservatives cared about climate change, and they were going to use carbon pricing to lower emissions.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, these Conservatives can dish it out, but they ran on carbon pricing. They have no integrity for fighting it at this stage.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, I apologize for causing a little bit of disruption. It seems that the Conservatives—

The Budget  Madam Speaker, the answer is yes, every province has had the opportunity to submit provincial budgets. The provinces and territories have a lot of opportunities to discuss their priorities with our government. I am open to having this kind of conversation with my provincial and territorial colleagues at federal-provincial-territorial meetings or on other occasions.

The Budget  Madam Speaker, I always take the opportunity to talk about co-op housing in the House because it is where I came from, and I will never forget where I came from. Back in the nineties, various governments decided that they were getting out of the game. They were going to stop building co-operative housing and leave it up to the market.

The Budget  Madam Speaker, it is always nice to see you in the chair, and today is no different. I am very proud to have the opportunity today to speak to budget 2024, a budget with a special focus on Gen Z, one that aims to ensure a better future for all Canadians. Budget 2024 ensures that Canada's social safety net will work for every generation.
