Mr. Speaker, oil and gas companies, as well as big box stores, have made record profits while families are struggling to put food on the table and fill up their tanks. We know that these companies have made record profits. We have a chance to do something about that later on today when we can vote to tax their excess profits and reinvest it into people. Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Mr. Speaker, oil and gas companies and big box stores have made record profits while everyday families are struggling to buy their groceries and to fill up their tanks. We have an opportunity to do something about that today when we vote on our opposition day motion: our plan to tax the excess profits of these corporations and reinvest that into helping people. We already know that the Conservatives are going to support the profits of big oil and gas companies. Where will the Prime Minister stand: with people and families, or with the large corporations that have made excess profits?

Mr. Speaker, oil and gas companies and big box stores have made record profits while families are struggling to pay for food and gas. We have a chance to do something about this problem today by taxing big corporations' excess profits and reinvesting that money to help families. Will the Prime Minister protect the interests of ordinary people or big corporations' profits?
