Mr. Speaker, I am worried about my friends in the Bloc Québécois. In fact, I do not recognize them any more. They initially told us that housing is important, but the Conservatives tell them to vote against it, so they vote against it. They came here and told us that seniors are important, but the Conservatives tell them to vote against it, so they vote against it. They say that fighting climate change is important. The Conservatives tell them to vote against it, so they vote against it. I am worried. By listening to the Conservatives, the sovereignist party is losing its own sovereignty.

Mr. Speaker, at some point, the Bloc Québécois took Quebeckers for a ride. They were elected on a promise to come to Ottawa to fight for housing, but they are voting against it. They said they were coming to Ottawa to stand up for the fight against climate change, but they are voting against it. They came to Ottawa to fight for seniors and youth, but they are voting against them and with the Conservatives. Does the Bloc Québécois realize that it has become a separatist offshoot of the Conservative Party?

Mr. Speaker, obviously we want to support French integration. We have provided $5.4 billion to Quebec since 2015, specifically for French integration classes in Quebec, and it is working well. I know that the Bloc Québécois is perceived as a bickering machine, but I would like to acknowledge the contribution of the member opposite, who campaigned to ensure that spouses, partners, people who come here to study nursing will be able to stay here. This will increase the number of people who are here temporarily, but that is the good work we can do because the Quebec government demanded it. We also worked with the Bloc Québécois to strengthen the health care system in Quebec.
