Mr. Speaker, what they have come to expect of this government is that it raises the cost of living. The cost of government is driving up the cost of goods and now the cost of interest.
Two hundred billion dollars of the half trillion in deficits had nothing to do with COVID, according to the Parliamentary Budget Officer, and even that so-called COVID spending included the ArriveCAN app, an app that could have been designed in a weekend for a quarter of a million dollars but cost $54 million. The government claims that $1.2 million of that went to a company called ThinkOn. That company says it did not get that money. Who did?

Mr. Speaker, I would encourage the Prime Minister to go back and listen to his answer later.
This question also has a budgetary dimension, so perhaps we need to pretend to have the assent of our friend Charles, who does not need any assistance, although he is quite old.
As the Prime Minister knows, hospital emergency rooms are overflowing. The most dreaded season in terms of health care challenges is upon us. We are facing another wave of COVID-19. The health care system is crumbling because of funding problems.
In order to avoid lengthy debates, wasted time and jurisdictional squabbles, and for the good of Quebeckers and Canadians, will the Prime Minister reverse his position and transfer the money for health care with no strings attached?

Mr. Speaker, record inflation is a choice for the Liberals, after causing it with the $500 billion of inflationary deficit, much of which has nothing to do with COVID. They blame everything and everyone else. The Bank of Canada governor says that inflation is homegrown. Another past governor says it is domestic too. Now struggling Canadians are facing yet another rate hike that makes a bad situation worse. The Prime Minister is not letting up. He is raising taxes and, worse, he is still spending.
Canadians know how we got here. They just want to know how he could be so irresponsible.

Mr. Speaker, $200 billion had nothing to do with COVID. It did not actually help Canadians through COVID.
Canadians cannot afford this Liberal-NDP coalition. It is actually making everything more expensive for Canadians. That is why interest rates went up today. I am going to ask again, will the Liberals give Canadians a break and cancel their planned tax hikes?

Mr. Speaker, another petition I have is from constituents and Canadians across the country who want a permanent end to the vaccine and COVID mandates. Right now, the government has only suspended some of the mandates. The petitioners note that countries around the world have removed their vaccine mandates and restrictions, and they call upon the government and the Minister of Transport to end all federally regulated COVID-19 vaccine mandates and restrictions.

Mr. Speaker, the next petition comes from Canadians from across Canada who would like a review conducted by the National Advisory Committee on Immunization, which found no information regarding the transmission of COVID on airplanes. They also note that WestJet's chief medical officer, Tammy McKnight, noted that there were no known cases on board Canadian aircraft. They note as well that an International Air Transport Association study found that out of 1.2 billion air traffic passengers, there were only 44 cases of COVID-19 reported on in-flight transmission. Countries around the world have removed their vaccine mandates and restrictions.
The petitioners are calling on the Government of Canada to abolish vaccine mandates rather than just suspending them, and abolish all COVID vaccine mandates and restrictions.
