Madam Speaker, the member of Parliament seems like a very kind gentleman, and I appreciate his demeanour in the House of Commons, which is certainly one that I cannot claim to have, and the way in which he made his comments. However, I would just say that it is exactly that kind of answer that Canadians watch and that makes them think elected people, particularly government members, literally have no idea what is going on in their real lives. He can rattle off a bunch of cherry-picked stats in the context that he wants to have them, but every single day, Canadians are losing hope for their futures.
Every single day, young people know they are staring down a future that, for the first time in Canadian history, looks worse than it did for the generations before theirs. Every single day, people are making choices between essentials that they need and that are not luxuries in our big, cold country. They are deciding between food and how to heat their homes, whether they can drive, whether they can take their kids to any kind of recreational activity and whether they have a little extra to support their senior relatives. People cannot find jobs. They cannot find homes. This is what is actually going on in the everyday lives of Canadians, and I just think it is answers like that member's that show exactly why, in the next election, if given the chance, Canadians are going to say that time is up.
