Mr. Speaker, when one or one's loved one falls sick, or one's mom needs a surgery, one needs nurses in the hospital to provide that care. When the Prime Minister was elected, the shortage of nurses was 5,800, and the shortage of nurses is now 29,000 positions. The situation has gotten a lot worse, not better. The Prime Minister promised to hire more nurses but has not done that. When Conservative premiers want to privatize, for profit, our services, he encourages it and celebrates it. Why has the nursing shortage gotten worse and not better with the Prime Minister?

Mr. Speaker, when the Prime Minister took office, there was a shortage of 5,800 nurses. Things are now five times worse. He promised to hire more nurses, but he broke his promise. He thinks the provincial premiers' move to privatize our health care system is innovative. Why is the Prime Minister making the crisis worse instead of improving our health care system?

Mr. Speaker, everyone in this country should be able to find a home that meets their family's needs and that is in their budget. Sadly, that is not the case. People are struggling to find a home they can afford, and rent under the Prime Minister, since he has taken office, has gone up by 60%. It is a massive increase, and people are struggling. The Prime Minister has not built the homes he promised he would build, nor has he tackled speculation that is driving up the cost of housing. Why has the housing crisis gotten worse, not better, under the Prime Minister?

Mr. Speaker, everyone should be able to find affordable housing. Sadly, that is not the case. It is getting harder and harder for people to pay their bills and their rent. Since the Prime Minister took office, rent has gone up by 60%. That is a massive increase. The Prime Minister promised to build more affordable housing, but he has not done so. Why has the housing crisis gotten worse under the Prime Minister?

Mr. Speaker, instead of spending $100 million to help Canadians, the Prime Minister spent $100 million to give contracts to his friends at McKinsey. This is millions of dollars given to a firm that advised American hospitals how to maximize profits by billing sick patients. This is the firm that advised Purdue Pharma how to sell more opioids. Why is the Prime Minister spending millions of dollars on his friends rather than spending it on helping Canadians through this difficult time?
