Mr. Speaker, after eight years of Canada under the Liberals, one in four children is going hungry, housing costs have doubled, people are sleeping in tents, and food bank usage has become the norm. The Prime Minister has failed in his own responsibilities, and we know that his inflationary spending is creating chaos. He has the nerve to lecture the provinces and impose his incompetence on them. Will the Prime Minister listen to the Premier of Quebec, who is urging him to withdraw from our areas of jurisdiction and mind his own business?

Mr. Speaker, we are pleased to do so with the co‑operation of Quebec municipalities, including the City of Lévis, and the Government of Quebec. There will be 8,000 affordable housing units in the coming months. This is the largest number of affordable housing units built by Quebeckers in one go in the history of the province of Quebec. That is because we are working in partnership with the Government of Quebec. We talk about competence, but I think we have forgotten the person who is perhaps the least competent of the gang: the Conservative leader. He built six affordable housing units during his tenure as housing minister.
