Mr. Speaker, we hear a lot of hot air coming from the Leader of the Opposition, but we do not hear a lot of solutions. On this side of the House, we are actually focused on making sure that Canadians have the support they need, whether that was at the height of the pandemic, when we made sure that Canadians could stay afloat, and guess what, that is what the Leader of the Opposition is against; whether it is now, when we are reducing child care fees by 50% across this country, and the Conservatives voted against funding child care; or whether it is the Canada child benefit, which is helping nine out of 10 Canadian families. We are there for them. Conservatives are just not there for Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, it is hard to listen to Conservatives who say they want to help Canadians when, at every opportunity, they vote against measures that will help Canadians. On this side of the House, we are committed to helping Canadians because we understand that the cost of living is high. That is exactly why we are taking action. If the Conservatives were sincere in their desire to help Canadians, they could do something very simple, and that is vote with us to help them.
