Madam Speaker, I understand why the Conservatives are having a hard time connecting with Quebeckers. It is because their economic policy is all about austerity and cuts. On this side of the House, we have implemented several measures to support Canadians and Quebeckers. We have increased benefits for our seniors. We introduced a new benefit to help families pay rent. We introduced our dental subsidy program for children. The Conservatives voted against these measures at every turn.

Madam Speaker, it is true that the global economic situation is very unstable right now. That is why we need to be there to support Canadians and Quebeckers. I do not understand how my colleague can claim to have compassion for Canadians who are struggling to make ends meet while voting against measures that will help them. We will always be there to support Canadians.

Madam Speaker, my colleague has pointed out an extremely important problem that exists in Montreal, Quebec and across the country. I would like to understand one thing. If my colleague is concerned about violence linked to firearms, why do the Conservatives systematically block measures that would make it easier to control firearms in Canada? Our government introduced Bill C‑21 to put a stop to handgun sales across the country, but the Conservatives are against it.

Madam Speaker, I am pleased to answer a second question about gun violence. I am surprised that the Conservatives are asking this question. The rates of violence against women and children have been on the rise for many years. Why are the Conservatives against better gun control measures in this country?
