Mr. Speaker, I am having a hard time following the particular logic that the Conservatives are putting forward today. They are saying the reason people are struggling is that we were there to help them in record amounts during the pandemic. We were there to keep food on the table for families struggling from having lost their jobs because of the pandemic. We were there to keep small businesses open, and restaurants and neighbourhood stores open, through the pandemic. We were there with supports because otherwise money was not coming in. We invested in the Canadian economy to get through these difficult times and Conservatives say we should not have done any of that.

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.
