Mr. Speaker, on this side of the House, we continue to believe in the power of working at the bargaining table. Public servants provide important services to Canadians, and we value their work. That is why we are working tirelessly to reach a deal that is fair to public servants and reasonable to taxpayers. That is, and has always been, our goal. We expect both sides to bargain in good faith and reach an agreement, because all Canadians are depending on it.

We expect both sides to negotiate in good faith and reach an agreement. Canadians are counting on it.

Mr. Speaker, as I have repeated many times in and out of this House, I have had no engagement, direct or indirect, with the Trudeau Foundation for about 10 years now.

Mr. Speaker, while Conservatives continue to focus on me and attacks on my family, we are going to continue focusing on delivering for Canadians. We are delivering on affordability through dental benefits that the Conservatives voted against and investing in health care in ways the Conservatives stood against. We are moving forward on affordability by being there to support Canadians from coast to coast to coast; our targeted measures, including the grocery rebate, are helping 11 million Canadians. We are also moving forward on creating great jobs for the middle class by investing in a clean, green economy with positive impacts right across the country. This is what we are focused on.

Mr. Speaker, it is interesting the lengths to which the Conservatives will go to not talk about the budget we just delivered for Canadians. Canadians are actually struggling through difficult times right now. The budget focuses on three large things, which are investing in affordability to support Canadians as we build a stronger economy for the future; investing in health care, with historic deals signed with the provinces; and investing in dental care, which the Conservatives continue to stand against.
We are going to continue building a stronger economy for the future. We know that fighting climate change and investing in a greener economy go hand in hand for the middle class.

Mr. Speaker, while the Bloc Québécois continues to attack the Trudeau name in every way possible, because they have been attacking my father and now me for a very long time, I will continue to do the job that Quebeckers and Canadians elected me to do, which is to meet expectations on the cost of living, to create a stronger and greener economy at the same time and to continue that work.
As the member opposite knows, I have had no direct or indirect involvement with the Trudeau Foundation for 10 years.

Mr. Speaker, as I said and as I will keep saying, for 10 years I have had no direct or indirect interaction with the foundation that bears by father's name.
On this side of the House, we are focusing on the cost of living, creating a greener economy, allocating money to help get results with respect to health care and dental care services. Those are our priorities.
While the opposition parties are focusing on me, we will continue to focus on Canadians and Quebeckers.

Mr. Speaker, we all recognize how hard public servants have worked over the past few years and what a great job they did in providing the services Canadians needed during the pandemic.
That is why we are with them at the bargaining table to find the best way to move forward, to recognize the excellent work that they continue to do and to ensure that we come to a fair agreement that is reasonable for taxpayers.
That is what is happening at the bargaining table, where the negotiators and the unions will stay to do their job.

Mr. Speaker, I am now a little worried about the leader of the NDP. He may not understand that the important job we are doing right now is sitting at the bargaining table, where deals get made, and working on those negotiations.
I am sure he does not want to disrespect the important process that happens at the bargaining table; that is exactly what we are busy supporting. Yes, these negotiations are sometimes difficult, but they are always important. They are always a fundamental right of workers across this country. That is why we are participating fully and making progress. We are going to get the right deal for the public servants and the right deal for Canadians.
