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, it takes a special kind of Conservative politician to talk about initiatives like the CERB and the CEBA as flooding the market with cheap cash. We are there to support Canadians in a direct way, as we had their backs during the pandemic, as we continue to have their backs right now with the high cost of living. We are always going to be there to support Canadians. Why are Conservative politicians not stepping up to support Canadians on rental and dental care? That is the question Canadians are asking now.

Mr. Speaker, during this unprecedented pandemic, all parties worked together to deliver the kinds of supports Canadians needed, whether it was CERB, whether it was the CEBA account for small businesses or whether it was support for seniors or support for students. We continued to step up. This government led the way, but we had the support of members across the aisle for many of these initiatives. Now the members across the aisle are saying we should not have been there for Canadians, that we should not have spent that money supporting Canadians with the CERB and the CEBA. I ask Canadians to think back over the past couple of years and imagine what it would have been like had we not been there to support them.
