Pensions  Mr. Speaker, over the past five years we have made significant investments in our seniors. One of the first things we did was restore the age of retirement back to 65, from the 67 the Conservatives wanted to send it to. We then increased, by 10%, the guaranteed income supplement for our most vulnerable single seniors that kicks in at 75.

Health  Mr. Speaker, our health system is very well prepared to deal with the coronavirus in Canada. We are taking all necessary precautions to prevent it from spreading. We are collaborating with our partners abroad, and Dr. Tam, who is the head of our Public Health Agency, is working as an expert at the WHO to ensure international coordination.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Alfred-Pellan for his work and for bringing this excellent news to our attention. Last year, we introduced a rebate worth up to $5,000 for zero-emission vehicle purchases. That incentive is part of our plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change.

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, this Liberal government remains committed to a goal of comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East. That includes the creation of the Palestinian state living side by side in peace and security with Israel that is secure within its own borders. We recognize the need to renew efforts toward a negotiated solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, Canadians expect their Prime Minister to stand up for jobs right across the country. That is what I will do and I will not apologize for that. We will do it in a way that respects the independence of our justice system. We will continue to ensure that Canadians can prosper and that we are creating jobs.

Health  Mr. Speaker, obviously we take this situation very seriously, but I can reassure Canadians that the health risk to Canadians continues to be low. We are taking all necessary precautions to prevent the spread of infection. The best practices are in place across Canadian hospitals to isolate patients who are experiencing symptoms.

Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, as the grandson of a proud B.C. fisheries minister, I can tell members that the health of our wild salmon stocks on the west coast is extremely important to me. I can assure members that the fisheries minister as well as our partners in the provincial Government of British Columbia are working closely together to ensure the stability and growth of our salmon stocks that are so important for British Columbians and indeed for people right across the country.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, as I said during the election campaign, Canadians can rest assured that we will reach our greenhouse gas reduction targets set in Paris. We will even exceed those targets. We are also committed to achieving net zero in 2050. That is vital not only for the environment, but also for economic growth.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, on this side of the House, we would rather look at environmental assessments. We make decisions based on science, unlike the member opposite, who could not care less about environmental assessments. We prefer to base our decisions on facts and science. I do want to mention that planting two billion trees will make a difference in the fight against climate change.

Health  Mr. Speaker, that is an excellent question, because indeed it is something we are absolutely following up on. We recognize that Canada, unlike many countries that Canadians visit, does not ask where someone's final destination is when they board a plane. We are using data that we have collected, like the passenger manifest, to follow up, and I can assure members that we are in the process of ensuring a follow-up on everyone who was on that flight.

Housing  Mr. Speaker, I would like to begin by congratulating the member for Thunder Bay—Rainy River for getting elected to represent his constituents in the House of Commons. We are proud to be introducing the Canada housing benefit as part of our national housing strategy. For the first time in Canadian history, Canadians will be provided with a direct, portable housing benefit that will help them find affordable places to call home.

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, we recognize that workers in the energy sector in Alberta and Saskatchewan have faced difficult years because of a rise in oil prices. We also know that we all need to work together to support those workers. This is something that Canadians are known for. When folks are facing difficult times in one corner of the country, we all step up for each other.

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, we recognize the difficult times families are going through who depend on the Alberta and Saskatchewan oil sector for their livelihood. Indeed, all Canadians know that we need to be there for each other in times of difficulty. The number one ask for many years from the oil sector has been to access new markets other than the United States for our oil and gas resources.

Employment  Mr. Speaker, the program will be launched on January 30. We understand how important the Canada summer jobs program is for communities, for young people in our ridings and for community organizations. We are pleased to announce that the program will continue and that we have doubled the federal investment after the Conservatives under-invested in our youth.

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, over the past five years, we have reversed the shameful legacy of Conservative attacks on veterans. They cut over 1,000 jobs from veterans' services in Canada and shuttered nine Veterans Affairs offices. Over the past years, we have invested in supports for our veterans and for their families, making sure they have the tools they need to lead fulfilled and successful lives in Canada after their military service.
