Mr. Speaker, next week, on June 16 and 17, the Mississauga Halal Food Festival will be held at Mississauga Celebration Square. More than 20,000 members of the Muslim community come together from Brampton and the greater Toronto area to attend this traditional event every year. This beautiful festival is a celebration of halal food and Muslim-owned small businesses. It brings together a wide range of cuisines, entertainment and cultures, representing the diversity of nearly two million Canadian Muslims. This year, the Mississauga Halal Food Festival celebrates its 10th anniversary. I applaud all the organizers, volunteers, small businesses and sponsors that make this event a success year after year. If people are in the GTA next weekend, they should check it out.

Mr. Speaker, as Canada continues to recover from the pandemic, it is important to make sure that no one is left behind. That is why our government has introduced programs such as the Canada child benefit, $10-a-day child care, the Canada dental benefit and the grocery rebate. With us today in Ottawa are a group of single moms and their daughters from my riding of Mississauga—Lakeshore. They are some of the millions of Canadians who have benefited from these programs. I am proud that our government has delivered real action for families in my community. Unfortunately, the official opposition refuses to support these measures, which help Canadians get ahead. Can the Prime Minister remind the House why it is important to help make life more affordable for—

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Mississauga—Lakeshore for his dedication to his constituents. We are all extremely proud of the accomplishments we have made since 2015, but we know there is a lot more to do. That is why our budget aims to make life more affordable for the middle class, while creating great middle-class jobs in a clean economy. However, Conservative politicians continue to block us from delivering these important measures. We hope they will end their partisan games and help us send the BIA to the Senate this week.

Mr. Speaker, on the third to last vote, I believe, I stepped out for a moment, and the member for Mississauga East—Cooksville referred to me as a rat. I think the member is an hon. member, and I would ask him to kindly retract his comment.
