Mr. Speaker, Dr. Guylaine Larose, a pediatrician at CHU Sainte-Justine, is saying she has never seen the emergency room so busy. She has never seen so many children in respiratory distress, so many exhausted doctors and nurses, and so many distraught parents. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister sits back and does nothing. When are the Liberals going to wake up and offer help, like they did during the pandemic, to save our health care system?

Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition has made it very clear that he disagrees with our focus on supporting Canadians. He made it crystal clear by standing and voting against support for families who could not otherwise afford to send their kids to the dentist. That demonstrates the priorities of the Conservative Party to not be there for Canadians and to attempt austerity as a way of moving forward. We demonstrated during the pandemic that by being there for families, small businesses and communities, not only did we get through the pandemic but we ended up with a stronger economy.

Mr. Speaker, what the member opposite just demonstrated is that he does not understand that what he has been talking about from the very beginning is austerity. It is withdrawing and not being there to support Canadians who need it, in the hopes that it will somehow make everything okay. What Canadians saw during this pandemic and what Canadians are seeing during this recovery is that by being there in targeted, measured ways, through things like making sure every family can afford to send their kids to the dentist and like making sure we are giving a top-up to the lowest-income renters, we support people in difficult times, something the Conservatives do not do anything about.

Mr. Speaker, we went into the pandemic with the strongest fiscal position of any of our peers and we came out of it with the strongest fiscal position of any of our peers. We did that because we invested in Canadians. We supported small businesses. We supported families. We supported workers. We supported students. We supported seniors. Not only was that the right thing to do because it allowed most of them to get vaccinated, but it also ensured that we would stay strong in our economic recovery. We have recovered 100% of our jobs faster than the United States. We are seeing strong economic growth. We will continue to be there with targeted supports for Canadians who need them.

Mr. Speaker, as you know, we are submitting a dissenting report. This government went on a spending spree during the COVID‑19 pandemic. Over $200 billion of that was not associated with COVID‑19 at all. Inevitably, we cannot accept this report as is. That is why we will be filing a dissenting report.
