Mr. Speaker, it is possible to be prudent fiscally and have strong social programs as well. That is exactly what the government does with its AAA credit rating, the lowest debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7 and historically low unemployment. At the same time, we have a national school food program on the table of $1 billion and supports for child care and early learning, as well as for renters and homeowners. That is what we do on this side of the House. Every day is a great day to fight for Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, wages are growing faster than inflation. Under the Conservatives, poverty was at 14.5%. When we replaced the Conservatives, we brought it down to 7.4%. We will continue to invest in Canadians with the supports for affordable housing, for renters and for early learning and child care, and because of our work, we will make life fairer for Canadians, unlike the Conservative leader, who is here for himself.

Mr. Speaker, an accurate representation of the facts would be the following: First of all, we have a AAA credit rating, which is done by an independent, objective observer of our economy. Second of all, with regard to expenditures, we on this side of the House invest in Canadians, especially in vulnerable Canadians, with $10-a-day child care, early childhood learning and education, and a national school program. Meanwhile, they vote against. They vote against dental care. They vote against pharmacare. Every day is a great day to fight for Canadians, and that is exactly what we will do.
