Mr. Speaker, I would be pleased to answer the question from the new leader of the Conservative Party.
However, I would like to begin by saying that our thoughts are with Atlantic Canadians as they face Hurricane Fiona.
Our government is there for them and ready to help. Our message to our fellow Canadians in Atlantic Canada is to be safe and follow the advice of local authorities. We stand with you.

Mr. Speaker, I completely agree. Canadians need us now. Global inflation is behind these economic uncertainties, and we need to be there to support Canadians. That is precisely why we want to double the goods and services tax credit.
Will the Conservatives support this measure that will put money directly into the pockets of Canadians?

Mr. Speaker, yesterday we heard the new deputy leader of the Conservatives say that she was going to support our GST credit. Another day, another flip-flop from the Conservatives, as the member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes said that he might support it as well.
Perhaps these two members can try to convince the new leader of the Conservative Party to put money directly into the pockets of Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, on this side of the House, we are proposing a plan to help Canadians deal with the rising cost of living. We are going to double the GST credit. We are going to put money in the pockets of Canadians who are struggling to pay their rent and we are going to pay for young children's dental care.
I worry when the Conservatives say they are listening to their constituents who are having trouble making ends meet but then do not want to support Canadians by putting money in their pockets. That is unfortunate.

Mr. Speaker, obviously, my heart goes out to Mike, my hon. colleague's constituent.
I would also like to assure Mike that he can have a decent retirement. That is why we want to ensure a good retirement for our seniors and for all Canadians.
I would like to understand why the Conservatives want to attack our Canada pension plan.

Mr. Speaker, the global economic context is very difficult. We know full well that Canadians are having trouble making ends meet. The Canadian economy is also very resilient.
My colleague referred to where we are compared to other G7 countries. We should keep in mind that Canada has the lowest deficit and the strongest economic growth in the G7.
On this side of the House, we know how to manage the economy, and we will continue to support Canadians who need it most while being fiscally responsible.
