Mr. Speaker, the hon. member knows extremely well that the Canada disability benefit is another concrete step to reduce poverty and to support Canadians who need it the most. This is our top priority. We are on track to deliver the benefit.

We will get it right and we will get it out for Canadians living with disabilities.

Mr. Speaker, our government has been unwavering in its support for our ally, Ukraine. With the values of all democracies threatened by Russia's illegal invasion, we have been there every step of the way, doing our part to ensure a Ukrainian victory. My riding of Winnipeg South Centre is home to thousands of Canadians of Ukrainian descent, and in recent months we have welcomed thousands more who are fleeing the war back home. Earlier this year, the House passed the Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement. Unfortunately, the Conservative opposition prevented Parliament from signalling unanimous support.

Mr. Speaker, perhaps I should send a copy of our new policy update for defence to the member opposite because it is quite clear he has not read it. What I can tell the House is that this is a historic investment in new capabilities, in maintaining the equipment and in ensuring that we can not only support the members of the Canadian Armed Forces but also grow our numbers. There is money for housing. There is money for other supports. There is a new focus for the Canadian Armed Forces in the defence of Canada that will make us strong at home to help us be strong around the world.

Madam Speaker, absolutely, 100%; that is why we are here today. We are here to support them. The Liberal members can put their money where their mouth is, not that they have any money left; they spent it all. They can support this report, reverse that rent and actually send a message to people out there. There are kids watching who always thought it would be a dream to work for the Canadian Forces, to join the forces and serve their country. The Liberals can send a message that there is a place for them and that they will be taken care of.

Mr. Speaker, it has been so difficult to follow. My understanding was that the Conservatives refused to support our work on helping the military, but there was so much chaos in the House that I am wondering whether the hon. member from Burnaby he could repeat so we can have it on the record.
