Mr. Speaker, is he bragging about the Trans Mountain project? He said it would cost $7 billion to get it done. It has cost $30 billion, and it is still not complete. By the way, the money he spent went to Kinder Morgan, a foreign company that took it to build pipelines in Texas. Under the Prime Minister, all our exes are in Texas. Why will he not bring jobs, resource production and opportunity home to Canada so we can put paycheques back in the pockets of Canadians?

Mr. Speaker, we just heard it from the Conservative Party of Canada: We should not have moved forward with the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. We disagree, and that is why we are actually getting it done. If the member opposite really cared about creating great jobs for the middle class, he would be understanding that we cannot grow the economy unless we fight climate change at the same time. That is why Volkswagen is coming to invest in Canada. That is why Sayona is building lithium mines in Quebec. That is why Stellantis, Ford and GM, and investors like Michelin, Rio Tinto and Lion Electric continue to invest in our supply chain, in our future and in great jobs for Canadians.

I am not sure how many times I have to start this question over so that I can hear it, but I am going to ask everyone to listen. We do not have a choice on what the question is or what the answer is. Ours is to listen, everyone in here, and then we can debate it at another time, if we want. The hon. member for Hamilton Mountain, hopefully for the last time.

Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives do not believe in a woman's right to choose. Conservative MPs introduced legislation to reopen the abortion debate. They will march with anti-choice activists tomorrow. They are beholden to Campaign Life Coalition and other groups that want to bring Republican-style abortion restrictions to this country, and the Leader of the Opposition uses misogynist hashtags in his YouTube videos. It is clear Conservatives want to control women's bodies in Canada. What does the Prime Minister believe?

Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Hamilton Mountain for her continued advocacy on women's rights. Let me be clear: Abortion is health care in Canada. A woman's right to choose is hers, and hers alone. We will always stand with Canadian women and the vast majority of Canadians on this, which is why it is so disappointing to see yet another thinly veiled attempt by the Conservative Party of Canada to restrict a woman's right to choose. The Conservatives are busy getting ready to march tomorrow in an anti-choice protest. We will be busy standing up for fundamental rights, including a woman's right to choose.

Mr. Speaker, thousands of Albertans have been evacuated due to out-of-control wildfires. They do not know when they will go home or what they will go home to. Métis settlements and first nations communities are hit worst of all. The federal government has a responsibility to ensure the safety of indigenous evacuees and provide them with the basics, like water, food and shelter. What does the Prime Minister have to say to the thousands of Albertans who are, as we speak, without basic necessities right now?

Mr. Speaker, my message to Albertans, indigenous and non-indigenous, is the same as our message to all Canadians who have faced terrible extreme weather events over the past years: We will be there for them. We will continue to work with the provincial government. I spoke to Premier Smith, just on Monday, to assure her that we are going to be there with CAF supports, with resources, with whatever is needed. We will be there to work with the Red Cross, and I encourage Canadians to continue to donate generously to the wildfire relief through the Red Cross to help families who are displaced. We will continue to work with indigenous communities to ensure that they continue to lead on the safety of their communities. We know we will work together and—

Mr. Speaker, Canadians overwhelmingly support creating a citizens' assembly on electoral reform. This past weekend, Liberal Party members strongly voted in support of it too, yet the Prime Minister will not make electoral reform a priority. If not Canadians, and if not his own party, who else does the PM need to hear from before he is ready to act?

Mr. Speaker, as members of the House know, I am committed to and continue to be hopeful about replacing the first-past-the-post system with a preferential ballot. I moved forward in 2015 to live up to that promise and to find consensus in the House of Commons. When we change something as fundamental as the way we elect members of the House, it has to be done with consensus. Unfortunately, there was no consensus on moving forward with a ranked ballot; therefore, we chose not to do it. I continue to be open. If anyone wants to move forward with a preferential ballot, I am happy to talk with them, but we will not impose a change on Canadians.
