Mr. Speaker, the appropriate ministers are looking into this and making sure that the mistake that was made by public servants in sharing information is followed up on.
At the same time, it is important to remember that we did a lot of things in an unprecedented way during an unprecedented pandemic, including delivering CERB cheques within weeks of people having to stay home from jobs in ways that were unthinkable only a few months before. We were there to support small businesses with record supports, so that we could come roaring back as an economy immediately after. Yes, we stepped up in a very rapid way to support Canadians, and Canadians know that is what got us through this pandemic.

Mr. Speaker, I am having a hard time following the particular logic that the Conservatives are putting forward today. They are saying the reason people are struggling is that we were there to help them in record amounts during the pandemic. We were there to keep food on the table for families struggling from having lost their jobs because of the pandemic. We were there to keep small businesses open, and restaurants and neighbourhood stores open, through the pandemic. We were there with supports because otherwise money was not coming in. We invested in the Canadian economy to get through these difficult times and Conservatives say we should not have done any of that.

Mr. Speaker, the problem is that the Prime Minister spent $200 million more than Canadians needed to get through the pandemic. He did not mention that.
We are getting used to the Prime Minister not answering questions. He hedges, deflects questions, and gives answers that are not related to the questions he is being asked. Citizens keep asking me whether the Prime Minister will answer a question one day.
I have a simple one for him today. Can he tell us who slept in that infamous $6,000 room in London?

Mr. Speaker, I wonder how he can say that and also justify staying in a $6,000 room. Not many Canadians can afford to stay in a room that costs $6,000.
I misspoke earlier. It was not $200 million more that was spent during the pandemic but that had nothing to do with the pandemic. It was $200 billion. That is the reality. When will the Prime Minister stop blaming everyone else and start taking responsibility for his incompetence?

Mr. Speaker, on the contrary, we all worked together to ensure that Canadians had the support they needed to get through the pandemic. From creating the Canada emergency response benefit to helping employers, small businesses and seniors, we all worked together, and our government provided a tremendous amount of help to get Canadians through those tough times.
Now that our economy is back in full swing, we can see that many Canadians are still having a tough time. That is why we are providing help for dental care and help for renters, but the Conservatives are against that.
