Mr. Speaker, I hope that the Conservatives will listen this time, because Canadians are watching at home. We will take no lessons from the Conservatives. On this side of the House, we have a plan to build more houses. We have a plan to build more prosperity in this country. We have a plan to create more jobs. On the other side, they have slogans. Canadians are smart. They understand that slogans do not build homes. They understand that slogans do not create jobs. They understand that slogans do not create prosperity. Every day is a good day to fight for Canadians, and that is what we are going to do.

Mr. Speaker, my colleague will admit that we are investing precisely to help the most vulnerable Canadians across the country. We are also investing in child care and in housing. Moreover, my colleague knows full well that the best way to stabilize grocery prices in this country is to have more competition. That is exactly what we have done with the biggest competition reform since the law was passed. Everyone in the House wants to help Canadians. That is exactly what we are doing and what we will continue to do.

Mr. Speaker, what we are hearing is the party of inaction. According to the Conservatives, doing nothing is the answer. Well, no, the people watching us at home know we need to invest in housing, we need to invest in day care, we need to invest in workers. If my colleague from Quebec wants to talk about success, let us look at the biggest private investment in Quebec's history. We attracted Northvolt to make the biggest investment here. From our side of the House, we believe that by investing, we ensure prosperity not only today, but for generations to come.

Mr. Speaker, we will take no lessons from the Conservatives when it comes to expertise. One thing is clear. Every time we have been there for Canadians, the Conservatives have voted against our measures. They are against investments in child care, housing and seniors. If we were to listen to the Conservatives, we would be saying no to pretty much everything. No, in today's world, confident countries invest. We are investing in health, education and housing. Confident countries invest in their people. That is exactly what we are doing.
