Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, it is a very interesting question because we have a situation where the government continues to engage in conduct where it is taxing Canadians hundreds of millions of dollars, in other cases billions of dollars, to line the pockets of the well-connected. We saw the response to that when it came to outside consultants and its record use.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, we voted against the government and that member who sent turbines to Russia to fund Putin's war machine. We voted against a government that sent detonators overseas to be used by Russia, that are blowing up and killing Ukrainians. We voted against a government that had to be embarrassed by a Conservative member into finally delivering on a 988 suicide prevention hotline.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, the member opposite and her colleagues are part of a government that has a cabinet filled with serial lawbreakers, and it is unbelievable that they are able to face Canadians when this is the record they have. Multiple members of the cabinet have been caught breaking the law.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, on the point of order, with respect, first of all, it was the member for Kingston and the Islands who said “serial criminals”. What I said was “lawbreakers”. The Prime Minister twice broke ethics laws. The small business minister broke ethics laws—

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, Conservatives last week had the opportunity to vote non-confidence in the government because we do not have confidence in the government. We have had the opportunity to do that dozens and dozens of times, just like we will vote against a Liberal budget that promotes higher taxes and less competition and is doubling shelter costs for Canadians, with longer lines at our food banks.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, the $54-million arrive scam app is another example of this out-of-touch government being more concerned about lining the pockets of their well-connected insider friends than delivering results for Canadians or delivering services at a price that ought to be paid. This is an example where $11 million flowed through a two-man shop.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, after eight years of the NDP-Liberal government and its inflationary policies, rent has doubled, mortgages have doubled and food bank usage is at record highs, with a third of food bank users being children. It is clear that the Prime Minister and his cabinet of serial law-breakers are just not worth the cost to Canadians.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, on the same point of order with respect to relevancy, on each occasion when the Chair has advised that I go back to speaking to the issue I referenced, every time that I have spoken, I have done that. I did it in the 60 seconds prior to the member for New Westminster—Burnaby interrupting me.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, as I was saying, the member for New Westminster—Burnaby has defended this Prime Minister and the policies that he has put forward, including the billion-dollar green slush fund. This is at a time when Canadians are struggling greatly with affordability. This week alone we learned that, at the billion-dollar green slush fund, $150 million has been misappropriated.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, every time anyone has risen during this, I have circled back to the same point I made before, which is that the merger of banks is going to drive up costs for Canadians at a time when they cannot afford it. What they cannot afford is Liberal—

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, it is fascinating that the member for New Westminster—Burnaby has debased himself to the point that he had all his members leave the chamber to call quorum, along with the member for Kingston and the Islands—

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, we have members of Parliament who have been elected, such as the member for New Westminster—Burnaby and the member for Kingston and the Islands, who have taken to defending a government that is corrupt, and that corruption is costing Canadians. That cost to Canadians is fuelling the inflationary fire that is driving up the price of everything.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I guess that if the member opposite has not had to worry about the financial pressures that other Canadians have had, because of her personal financial situation and great success, then congratulations to her on her many, many millions of dollars. However, for everyday Canadians, shelter costs will go up when banks merge—

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I would encourage the member opposite to crack open the House of Commons Procedure and Practice and take a look at what the Standing Orders are before she rises in the chamber. What would be really helpful for Canadians is if she was respectful to the people who are falling on hard times.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, we can hear the member for Kingston and the Islands. If he wants to shout me down while I am talking about the hardships that Canadians are facing, it is not a surprise. The champagne Liberals—
