Mr. Speaker, I have the honour of presenting two petitions today, the first being a petition regarding the cost of living. Many Canadians are concerned about the increased cost of living and the lack of government action thereof. The petitioners call on the Government of Canada to immediately table a plan to address the affordability crisis in Canada. The petition has over 500 signatures.

Mr. Speaker, every time we put forward an affordability measure, the Conservatives vote against it. However, good news is coming to the Prairies, where the member and I live. As of April 1, a family of four will receive a climate rebate of up to $1,500 in Alberta and Saskatchewan, and $1,000 in Manitoba. This is going to help families. It is going to help families because the cheques are going to arrive quarterly. Eight out of 10 families will benefit. I do not know what the Conservatives have against good news.

Mr. Speaker, budget 2023 does a great deal to address affordability, including access to nutritious food. One of the really important measures in the budget is additional investments in the local food infrastructure fund, the LFIF. Could the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food tell us more about this program and its impact on communities from coast to coast to coast?

Mr. Speaker, every time we put forward an affordability measure for dental, rental or supporting children, the Conservatives vote against it. I will just emphasize, for the 29th time, that the climate rebate puts more money in people's pockets. It makes families better off. What will not make families better off is investing in cryptocurrency. The hon. Leader of the Opposition had a chance to stand in his place and apologize for his reckless advice. The hon. member of the opposition has no plan for the economy—

Mr. Speaker, budget 2023, a made-in-Canada plan, introduces various affordability measures, such as the first-time homebuyers account, and also demonstrates our government's unwavering commitment to reconciliation by investing in urban, rural and northern indigenous housing. Could the hon. Minister of Housing and Diversity and Inclusion tell the House about these initiatives and what they mean for our country?
