Mr. Speaker, record inflation is hitting families around the globe, but that is cold comfort to Canadians who are struggling as well, which is why we are stepping up to directly support them with a GST rebate, with direct help for low-income renters and with dental care. My question, and Canadians' question, to be quite frank, is this: Why are Conservative politicians continuing to stand against dental care for Canadian kids and stand against support for low-income families? These are things that would help people tangibly in the months to come, but the Conservatives are just not supporting them. They are actually actively trying to block them.

Mr. Speaker, if the member for Kelowna—Lake Country were really concerned about hard-working Canadians, she would drop her opposition to supporting families with dental care for their kids. She would stop her opposition to sending a $500 cheque to the lowest-income renters across the country, who need help making ends meet right now. The Conservative Party continues to talk about trying to be there for people, but when it comes time to stand up and vote to help them, not only are its members voting against it, but they are doing everything they can to kill our dental and rental bill. Shame on them. When will they do the right thing and support low-income and middle-class Canadians?

Mr. Speaker, during this unprecedented pandemic, all parties worked together to deliver the kinds of supports Canadians needed, whether it was CERB, whether it was the CEBA account for small businesses or whether it was support for seniors or support for students. We continued to step up. This government led the way, but we had the support of members across the aisle for many of these initiatives. Now the members across the aisle are saying we should not have been there for Canadians, that we should not have spent that money supporting Canadians with the CERB and the CEBA. I ask Canadians to think back over the past couple of years and imagine what it would have been like had we not been there to support them.

Mr. Speaker, exactly what we did was work directly with indigenous peoples, first nations and other indigenous peoples, to ensure that we were moving forward on supporting the people who needed it and on getting that compensation to those people who had been harmed by the practices of governments past. We are continuing to stand with the AFN and Trout and Moushoom to make sure that we are working to deliver compensation to these kids as quickly as possible. We know that they deserve compensation. We want to be there for them, as we have always said we would be.

Mr. Speaker, as always, our thoughts are with the families as they continue to grieve, and my efforts are focused squarely, as they have been since day one, on supporting them. As the commissioner and the minister have clearly stated, the decision on what information is released and when is that of the police alone, and that was fully respected.
