Mr. Speaker, I am very happy to repeat this. Today is a bad day for Conservatives but a great day for the people of Manitoba. Premier-elect Wab Kinew ran a hopeful and historic campaign, a campaign to defend a public universal health care system, but now New Democrats need a federal partner. The Prime Minister has called the privatization of health care innovation. Will the Prime Minister stop the flip-flop and come out clearly and say no to for-profit health care?

Mr. Speaker, during the campaign, Conservatives said they would never search the landfill for the bodies of murdered indigenous women. They were actually trying to score political points off a genocide. It is disgusting, and Manitobans spoke very clearly. They rejected these hateful, divisive Conservative politics. Will the Prime Minister do everything in his power to make sure the landfill gets searched and put in place a red dress alert to save indigenous lives?

Mr. Speaker, in 2021, the Prime Minister made election promises to stop renovictions and to deter unfair rent increases. Two years later, 500 renters in Toronto are on strike because of renovictions and high rent increases, as well as poor conditions. Now, the Prime Minister and Liberal MPs for Toronto are nowhere to be seen. Those promises are meaningless. How can the Prime Minister justify the broken promises to Canadian renters?

Mr. Speaker, I am not finished. In Quebec, 25 doctors made a heartfelt plea: Their patients' health is getting worse because of the housing crisis. After eight years of the current government, the cost of rent has doubled. That is the Liberals' record. Enough with the “could have, would have, should have”. When will the Prime Minister finally take this crisis seriously?

Mr. Speaker, I know the Conservatives love a history lesson, so let us go back in time to when the Conservatives were in power. Ground beef went up 128%, coffee went up 89% and bread went up by 60%, and the Conservatives' response was to give billions in tax giveaways to wealthy corporations. Now, after eight years of Liberals, food prices have also increased by 30%. Now the Prime Minister's solution is to ask greedy CEOs nicely to stabilize their prices. When will he have the courage to take on the real problem, which is corporate greed?
