[The Economy, September 18th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, that little performance shows just how much the Leader of the Opposition loves his slogans but does not actually put forward any—

[New Democratic Party of Canada, September 18th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, once again, we see that the Leader of the Opposition enjoys his political games and enjoys chasing after his own political interests; however, he does not have a second to care about Canadians' interests. He is actually in a bad mood because inflation has come down for Canadians. He does not care about their interests. That is why we are going to continue to deliver for Canadians. We are going to continue to step up with investments that are going to support Canadians as we fight climate change and build a brighter future for everyone.

[Finance, September 18th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, once again, we are seeing that the Conservative leader is great on slogans and believes in slogans, but he does not believe in Canadians and Quebeckers. He does not want to invest to help people get dental care. He does not want to be there to help seniors and young people. He is there to cut programs. He is there to fight against climate action and against putting money into the pockets of Canadians who need it. He has nothing to offer. He is obsessed with his own thirst for power.

We are obsessed with Quebeckers and Canadians and what we can do for them.

[Finance, September 18th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, once again, we see that the Leader of the Opposition is concerned only about his own political interests and not the interests of Canadians or Quebeckers. That is why we will continue to invest in Canadians. We will continue to be there for Quebeckers by implementing the dental care program and by ensuring that there are more child care spaces. We will be there to invest instead of pushing for austerity and budget cuts, like the Conservative leader would do for everybody, as we well know.

[Health, September 16th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, as everyone in here knows, over the past couple of years, I have had a lot of great conversations with the NDP. I know the New Democrats actually do care about Canadians and about delivering for them. Unfortunately, they have no idea how to do it and as soon as hard things got hard, they turned tail and ran. They wanted to avoid the criticisms of the mean old Conservatives and tried to save themselves.

The reality is that we know that hard things are hard. We are going to continue to deliver progressive solutions for Canadians, because we are going to step up and fight for Canadians and not hide from the Conservatives.

[Housing, September 16th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, over the past few years, I have had many good conversations with my NDP colleagues and the leader of the NDP. I know they are genuinely concerned about Canadians. They really want to help them, but what is becoming clear is that they have no idea how to do it. As soon as the Conservatives start attacking them a little bit, what do they do? They run away and hide behind politics.

Yes, it is hard to implement progressive measures in this country, but we are doing it as a government. Even without the NDP, we will continue to deliver for people across the country when it comes to housing, services—

[Health, September 16th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois claims to speak for the Government of Quebec but does not seem to acknowledge that the Government of Quebec admitted that it was going to issue an order to clarify and explain that it did not intend to attack anglophones. We are still awaiting that explanation. However, if the Government of Quebec could acknowledge it, maybe the Bloc Québécois could do likewise.

Seniors 65 and over who received dental care could not care less about their area of responsibility. They want the dental care that Quebec was not providing. The federal government is there to pay for seniors and help them get dental care. The Bloc Québécois voted against it.

[Seniors, September 16th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, as we have said before, seniors aged 75 and up have more expenses and often have less savings. That is why we are providing additional funding for them.

However, I am a bit confused about something. The Bloc Québécois claims to care about seniors aged 65 and up, but they voted against the dental care we are providing Canadians. A total of 650,000 Canadian seniors across the country have recently received dental care paid for by the federal government, but the Bloc voted against that. They do not give a damn about seniors.

[Carbon Pricing, September 16th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, the Conservative leader does not believe in climate change and that is why he has a do-nothing plan to fight climate change. It would cost Canadians money and challenge the future we are building for our kids.

Our plan with the Canada carbon rebate puts more dollars in the pockets of eight out of 10 Canadians right across the country, and supports the middle class and people working hard to join it, while delivering the kinds of investments that are going to grow our economy and reduce emissions at the same time. This is a responsible climate plan that fights climate change and supports Canadians. He wants to do nothing. He wants to hurt Canadians.

[Carbon Pricing, September 16th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, here is a news flash for the Conservative leader: Climate change costs money. What would cost the most money to Canadians at all is his do-nothing climate plan. Here is a news flash: When the Toronto subway gets flooded, it costs money. Here is another news flash: when forest fires hit communities across this country, it costs Canadians money to rebuild. When droughts hit farmers and agriculturers across this country, it costs money.

What does not cost money is putting money in eight out of 10 of Canadians' pockets with the Canada carbon rebate to support their families and fight climate change.
