Mr. Speaker, yesterday in the Prime Minister's meeting with the premiers, he had a chance to tell premiers not to double down on for-profit care and poach from our hospitals. However, Premier Doug Ford confirms that this never came up in any conversation. The Prime Minister had a chance to stand up for public health care and increasing staffing levels. Instead, he stood down. The Prime Minister used to believe in public health care. Why the flip-flop?

Mr. Speaker, during the last election, the Prime Minister spoke out against the for-profit privatization of our health care system. He said that would not be innovation, and I agree. However, it has been confirmed that, yesterday, he did not raise this issue in his meeting with the premiers. He had the opportunity to defend our health care system and he rolled over. Why this big flip-flop?

Mr. Speaker, during the pandemic, we heard horrific reports from long-term care homes, stories of seniors crying out for food and water and seniors being left in soiled diapers and linens. The Prime Minister promised to change that and did the opposite. Families say things have not gotten better. In the offer to the premiers, there is no mention of long-term care, no additional dollars and no help for seniors. Why?

Mr. Speaker, yesterday, Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem admitted that the government's approach to dealing with the inflation, rate hike after rate hike, has only made things worse for Canadians. Household debt and the cost of housing are through the roof. Now what we are dealing with is a Prime Minister who promised to make it more affordable for people to find homes to call their own but has done the opposite. Why has the Prime Minister made it so expensive to find a home to call one's own?
