Madam Speaker, the Canada we knew nine years ago seems so far away.
It was a Canada where we did not have widespread foreign interference in our elections. In the 2021 election, my colleague Kenny Chiu, a Conservative who lost his seat in this place, faced significant foreign interference that was not dealt with by the Prime Minister and the government. They allowed it to happen because they benefited from it. They won those seats where foreign interference happened.
Canadians will never apologize. When Conservatives were in power, our streets were safer, houses were more affordable, we did not have a carbon tax on food, fuel and home heating, and Canadians could get ahead. Canadians could build a life. The dream of Canada was still real. The dream can still be brought back. That is why we want to see a carbon tax election, so we can get back to the Canada we know and love, and have always loved.
