Madam Speaker, we are focused like a laser beam on affordability. We had rental supports, dental supports and other affordability measures that the Conservatives just voted against, and that is unfortunate. The hon. member is from the Prairies, like me, and there is good news coming to the Prairies. In her province of Alberta and in Saskatchewan, there is $1,500 in the climate action rebate. Those payments are going to be coming quarterly. That is going to help with affordability, that is going to help with cash flow and that is going to help reduce pollution and drive innovation.

Madam Speaker, the hon. member mentioned the Prairies, where I am from. I wonder if she knows that in Manitoba we had two one-in-300 year floods that cost a billion dollars each. There was the Calgary flood at $5 billion, and 7,000 people were forced from their homes in my home province. The costs are rising. The Conservatives are in denial. When are they going to get serious about climate change?
