Mr. Speaker, I have the pleasure of sitting on the Standing Committee on Official Languages with my colleague from Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge.
It is indeed a reality that people are suffering. People are suffering in our communities.
As I mentioned in my speech, I made a few donations. As everyone knows, MPs have a small budget for sponsorships. Last week, I walked around with my sign and helped 17 charities. I gave them a little money so that they can give out more Christmas hampers this year. It is bad.
Meanwhile, my Liberal colleague from Spadina—Harbourfront is talking about lifelines. Canada is not a developing country. Should we be proud? Can we respect the people of our country, Canada, Canadians? It is the least we can do. The Liberals should go out into the streets to see what the everyday reality of Canadians looks like.
