Mr. Speaker, the Liberal member of Parliament for Davenport claims that there is no housing crisis in Toronto. The rest of the Liberal MPs for Toronto would rather fight the City of Toronto than actually deal with the crisis of housing. Frontline workers are saying, “On the ground, we've seen a man recently arrived from Africa die in [an] encampment while trying to stay warm.” Will the Prime Minister listen to his out of touch Liberal MPs or to frontline workers trying to save people's lives?

Mr. Speaker, an 83-year-old woman was evicted from the home she lived in for 30 years. Because of the Liberal-Conservative housing crisis, she does not know where she will end up. The Liberals have the resources, the power and the land to fix the housing crisis. When will the Prime Minister stop putting real estate giants ahead of Ms. Bertrand?

Mr. Speaker, millions of Gazans rely on UNRWA for food, water and shelter. People are starving. Children are eating grass just to survive. Yes, serious allegations need to be investigated and prosecuted. No, children should not pay for this. Why is the Prime Minister fuelling this war with Canadian arms and punishing Palestinian children who did not commit a crime?

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister knows well that no other group can do this work. I want to talk about Halifax. Halifax has the highest rate of poverty in Canada: One in five children live in poverty. Only once has a Liberal MP for Halifax raised the issue of skyrocketing food prices in the House. How out of touch is that? That is the problem with the Liberals. They pretend that everything is fine if everything is fine with their rich CEO friends. When will the Prime Minister stop working for Galen Weston and start working for Haligonians?
