Mr. Speaker, the average family of four in this country in the jurisdictions where the carbon tax backstop applies receive more money from the climate action incentive than they pay on average in the price on pollution. We are moving forward in a way that both fights climate change and supports the families that need it, like how we are moving forward on supports for low-income renters and for families that cannot pay for their kids to go to the dentist, but Conservative politicians are standing against support for dental care and support for low-income rentals. Why?

Mr. Speaker, it is clear that the Prime Minister has become too comfortable with the luxuries he has not earned. He does not understand the burdens that are on every Canadian, burdens that the Liberals are tripling by tripling the carbon tax, tripling the debt and now tripling the interest rates. Will the Prime Minister end his planned tax hikes on food, fuel and home heating, or is he yearning for the days of his father when Canadians who could not afford their mortgage were dropping their house keys off at the bank before taking their families to the food bank?

Mr. Speaker, there is much misinformation floating around out there and that is why we are happy to put things very clearly for Canadians, despite the approach that the members of the opposition are taking. Let us consider how families in the communities of the opposition front benches benefit from our climate action rebates. A family of four in the opposition leader's riding has received over $550 this year alone. They have received over $620 in the deputy finance critic's riding and over $800 so far this year in the member opposite's riding. We are there to support families even as we fight climate change.

Mr. Speaker, the situation in Afghanistan remains heartbreaking to this day. Afghan women and interpreters helped our country for years and they have been targeted by the Taliban since it took over in Afghanistan over a year ago. It goes without saying that it is our duty to help them get to safety. Can the Prime Minister inform this House on the progress that has been made so far toward this government's commitment to resettle at least 40,000 Afghan refugees by the end of next year?

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Guelph for his tireless work and advocacy for his constituents. I am pleased to say that today we will be welcoming two more planes with Afghan nationals fleeing the Taliban regime. With those arrivals, we have now resettled over 23,000 Afghans. We are excited for those arriving today to begin their new lives here. We will continue our work until we have resettled at least 40,000 Afghans.

Mr. Speaker, in July, Sunshine House received Health Canada funding to run a mobile overdose prevention site providing peer-led support to people who use drugs, but it has hit a bureaucratic wall. The people at Sunshine House have been told they need an exemption to run the site. Winnipeg Centre has an overdose crisis. Last week, five people died due to a toxic drug supply. People need help and the government delays are costing lives. Will the Prime Minister act to ensure this overdose prevention site can start its critical life-saving work now?

Mr. Speaker, this is a government that has always put evidence and data at the centre of everything we do to move forward. We know harm reduction and safe consumption sites work. That is why over the past seven years we have seen the opening of countless numbers of sites across the country, but we know there is more to do. That is why we are moving forward with a program with British Columbia to ensure safer drug supplies. That is why we are moving forward in cities across the country, including the member opposite's city, to ensure we are getting the support for people who are facing such terrible challenges in epidemics and deaths. We are going to continue to be there hand in hand with local municipalities.

Mr. Speaker, Canadians care about human rights. We stand up for human rights, whether it is for the Uighur Muslims in the People's Republic of China and whether it is the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar and around the world. We must also stand up for Palestinian human rights. We must make it very clear that as a staunch friend of Israel we also call for human rights to be respected for the people of Palestine. There are two important UN resolutions coming up. I want to ask the Prime Minister, will Canada consider please voting for the motion to respect what is happening, to help Palestinian refugees and to take action on Israeli settlements?
