Mr. Speaker, I know that the member opposite works hard with his constituents and I am glad that he is congratulating them for their harvest. I would like to congratulate them too.
Canada's farmers work hard and the people of rural Saskatchewan work hard. We know that times are hard and that is why I am delighted that, today, the House will vote to support the GST tax credit. That is going to get nearly $500 to the hard-working Saskatchewan families the member opposite represents.

Mr. Speaker, it is a few days before Thanksgiving and I absolutely agree that now is the time for all of us to have a lot of compassion. That is why I am glad that we have overcome partisan division, and today, together, we are going to vote for the GST tax rebate. That is going to get nearly $500 to Canadian families who need it.
I want to encourage all of us to take another step. Let us support Canadian kids under 12 whose parents cannot afford to take them to the dentist. How is that okay? Let us vote for this measure too and get it through in record time.

Mr. Speaker, I want to start by thanking the hon. member for supporting our plan to provide inflation relief payments. That was a good decision, one that will help families across the country.
Now I want to sincerely ask all members of the House to also support our plan to help children, young children, get dental care. We need to get this done.

Mr. Speaker, let me start with a small point. On inflation, the latest number was actually 7%. That is still too high and that is still causing real challenges for Canadian families. That is why I am really sincerely pleased that the Conservatives swallowed their pride and are supporting our GST tax credit, which would get nearly $500 to Canadian families. I would like to urge them now to take the next step, although it is hard, to swallow their pride again and to support dental care for children under 12 who need it.

Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives said that today they would put forward a private member's bill promoting crypto, but earlier this week, and for the third time in a row, they pulled the bill. I hope that means the Conservatives are collectively embarrassed by their leader's reckless advice to Canadians to invest in crypto. I really hope that is the case, and I hope that now they will have the good grace to publicly recant and apologize to Canadians for that reckless, dangerous advice.

Mr. Speaker, our government absolutely is committed to ensuring that everyone in Canada pays their fair share. We have shown it with concrete measures.
Let me remind all members in the House that we are permanently raising the corporate income tax by 1.5% on the largest, most profitable banks and insurance companies. We are introducing a Canada recovery dividend of 15% on banks and insurance companies to do the right thing and help pay for the cost of COVID. Of course, our luxury tax on superexpensive cars, yachts and planes is already in force.

Mr. Speaker, I spoke just a moment ago about our commitment to ensuring that everyone in Canada pays their fair share, and I listed some of the very concrete tax measures that are coming into force, some of which have come into force already. We are going to keep going.
When it comes to credit card fees, I am very much in agreement with the member opposite. We need to support consumers. We need to support small businesses. We are committed to doing that and we will.

Mr. Speaker, monetary policy is, of course, the province of the Bank of Canada, whose independence we on this side of the House respect.
We know that times are tough for Canadian families. That is why I am really glad today that we in this House have overcome petty, partisan squabbles and are coming together to support the GST tax credit. It is going to get nearly $500 to Canadian families that need it the most. It is time to do the same thing on dental care for kids and on rental support.

Mr. Speaker, we fully understand that affordability and the cost of living are important and difficult issues for many Canadian families. That is why I am so happy today that the House is going to vote unanimously for our idea, our plan to deliver inflation relief payments. It is the right thing to do.
Now, we must come together once more for children's dental care.

Mr. Speaker, as Canadians, we all know how important it is to get our resources to market and to get fair value for them. Putin's illegal war in Ukraine and OPEC's actions this week have further underscored that essential truth. The government does not intend to be a long-term owner of the project. A divestment process will be initiated once the project is more advanced and de-risked, and essentially, when consultations with indigenous partners have been concluded.
