Mental Health and Addictions  Mr. Speaker, a pilot project was put in place at B.C.'s request. B.C. now has serious concerns about some aspects of that. We share those concerns and are addressing them. I do want to say that I do not think there is a family in Canada that has been untouched by the tragedy of opioids.

Finance  Mr. Speaker, we have a plan to build more housing faster, but the Conservatives voted against it. We have a plan for the green industrial transition, but the Conservatives voted against it. I want to share some very good news with members, news that Canadians learned last week.

Questions on the Order Paper  Mr. Speaker, regarding part (a) of the question, budget 2024 proposes to return fuel charge proceeds from 2019 20 through 2023 24 to an estimated 600,000 businesses, with 499 or fewer employees through the Canada carbon rebate for small businesses. This new refundable tax credit would deliver over $2.5 billion directly to small and medium sized businesses in the provinces where the fuel charge applies.

Finance  Mr. Speaker, I am really pleased to have another opportunity to quote the Governor of the Bank of Canada, who shared some very good news with Canadians today. He said, and I quote, “The message to Canadians is, we are getting closer”. He also said that it is our government's fiscal responsibility that has stabilized inflation and will allow us to reduce the key policy rate.

Finance  Mr. Speaker, this is another opportunity to talk about the economy. First, we have a responsible fiscal policy. We also have a AAA credit rating, the highest there is. I just quoted the Governor of the Bank of Canada, who talked about the good progress being made on inflation. The Conservatives' only policy is austerity, cuts and more cuts.

Finance  Mr. Speaker, I am very happy to finally have a question about the economy, as it gives me the opportunity to share some good news from the Governor of the Bank of Canada. Today, he said that we have come a long way in the fight against inflation and that recent progress is encouraging.

Mental Health and Addictions  Mr. Speaker, I am a minister. I am a Toronto MP. I am Toronto mother. I know, as everyone in the House should, that the opioid crisis is a tragedy and that there are no families in Canada that are untouched by it. The B.C. pilot project was requested by B.C., and B.C. has serious concerns.

Mental Health and Addictions  Mr. Speaker, I think the members opposite were not listening to my previous answer. The only pilot project in Canada is in B.C., and B.C. has serious concerns. We share them, and we are acting urgently together to resolve them. There are no other pilot projects anywhere in Canada.

Mental Health and Addictions  Mr. Speaker, unlike the Conservatives, I have been in touch with the Province of British Columbia. B.C. requested the pilot project, and I was in touch this week with the premier of B.C. He and his government have serious concerns about the pilot project. We share those concerns and are working together with B.C. to address them.

Mental Health and Addictions  Mr. Speaker, as a mother of three, including teenagers, I care so much about Canada and Canadians. I agree that opioid addiction is a tragedy; it is a public health tragedy and it is a public safety tragedy. Let me tell members what is putting the public safety of all Canadians at risk: consorting with white supremacists and misogynists.

CBC/Radio‑Canada  Mr. Speaker, we share the concerns about the French language, francophone culture and Quebec culture in Canada. We will always work hard to support the French language, francophone culture in Canada and francophone Quebec culture. We will always support Radio‑Canada.

Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, our government is doing more to fight climate change than any other federal government in the history of Canada. We put a price on pollution. We have a major, $93‑billion industry program to stimulate the green transition. We are and should be proud of what we are doing, and we know that more needs to be done.

Finance  Mr. Speaker, I am really glad that the member opposite has raised an issue about which the Conservatives have been notably silent, and that is our increase in the inclusion rate on capital gains. We agree with the member opposite that it is just not fair for a nurse or carpenter to pay tax at a higher marginal rate than a multi-millionaire.

Mental Health and Addictions  Mr. Speaker, unlike the Conservative House leader, I have actually been in touch with the Premier of B.C. about this truly pressing issue, and unlike the Conservatives, we are working collaboratively with the Province of B.C. We share its concerns and we are working together to support public health and public safety.

Mental Health and Addictions  Mr. Speaker, British Columbia requested a pilot project. B.C. now has serious concerns, which we share. That is why we are working urgently and closely with the province to address this concern. I want to point out that these are tragedies for families across Canada. It is important not to politicize Canadians' grief.
