Mr. Speaker, the member for Cowichan—Malahat—Langford has contributed thoughtfully to the special joint committee. In answer to his question, I note that during the 2021 election campaign, the Prime Minister claimed that mental health was a priority of the government. He committed to a $4.5-billion mental health transfer, but none of that money has gone out the door. There is no mental health transfer. Instead of providing support and help, the government has been almost singularly focused on offering death, on offering MAID to persons who are struggling with mental health. It speaks to how misplaced the priorities of the government are. It also speaks to the fact that once again, like so much of what the Prime Minister says, his words are nothing more than empty words.

Madam Speaker, I understand where the hon. member is coming from given that this was a disappointing fall economic statement. The member cited health care. We have seen no meaningful commitments from the government when it comes to health care. Indeed, thanks to the government's reckless spending, debt servicing costs will soon outpace and be a larger amount than what is allocated to the Canada health transfer annually. Quite frankly, there would be more money for health care if the government would rein in its wasteful, reckless spending.
