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, austerity is when one in five Canadians have to skip meals because they cannot afford groceries. That is the austerity that meant 1.5 million Canadians literally had to go to a food bank in a single month. What is the NDP solution? It is to vote with the Liberals to raise home heating bills by applying the carbon tax and tripling it. This coming winter, we are expecting a 100% increase in home heating bills. Will the Prime Minister cancel his plan to raise the tax and take all taxes off home heating altogether?

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.
