Mr. Speaker, now it is time to respect taxpayers and Canadians and have some ministerial accountability across the aisle. That means resignations of ministers who break Canadian laws. It is not a surprise from the Prime Minister because he has twice been found to have broken the ethics laws of this country to help out his buddies and Liberal insiders. After eight years of this Prime Minister, people can bet that, if they are a Liberal insider, things are looking pretty great, but this is not so for the rest of Canadians. Therefore, when will the Prime Minister and the Liberals finally put Canadians first and put the corruption and law-breaking aside?

Mr. Speaker, while Conservatives engage in attacks, we are engaging in supporting Canadians directly with things that Conservatives have opposed, including things like delivering rental supports to the lowest-income renters, which Conservatives voted against. We have stepped up with help so that all families can send their kids to the dentist. Unfortunately, Conservatives stood against that too. No wonder they talk about anything other than their abandonment of the middle class. We are going to continue to be there to support Canadians throughout.

Mr. Speaker, that was another bad answer from a random Liberal. After eight years of the Prime Minister, Canadians are struggling like they never have before, but if one is a Liberal lobbyist or a high-priced consultant, it has never been better. For the fifth time, these Liberals have been found guilty of breaking our ethics laws, which was done twice by the Prime Minister. This time, the trade minister was caught shovelling money to her good friend and CBC pundit Amanda Alvaro, who was also on the trade minister's campaign team. Will the Prime Minister fire the trade minister and make her pay back the $17,000 she gave to her BFF?

Mr. Speaker, quantum science and technologies have incredible untapped potential in fields as diverse as drug design, climate forecasting, navigation and clean technology. Canada is a world leader in quantum, and we know that additional investments in this innovative sector will help foster even more cutting-edge research and innovation. Could the Prime Minister kindly update the House on how investments in quantum lead to economic growth and job creation?

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Brampton North for her hard work. Last week I was immensely pleased to be able to visit Toronto's Xanadu Quantum Technologies Incorporated. Through our federal investment, its new quantum computing project is expected to create 530 new highly skilled positions. Whether it is projects like the one at Xanadu, or those of the companies I visited across the country, whose workers are building electric vehicles and batteries, we are creating and securing well-paying jobs that will help grow the Canadian economy for all Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, instead of spending $100 million to help Canadians, the Prime Minister spent $100 million to give contracts to his friends at McKinsey. This is millions of dollars given to a firm that advised American hospitals how to maximize profits by billing sick patients. This is the firm that advised Purdue Pharma how to sell more opioids. Why is the Prime Minister spending millions of dollars on his friends rather than spending it on helping Canadians through this difficult time?

Mr. Speaker, the opioid epidemic is heartbreaking for Canadians right across the country, which is why we have consistently stepped up with evidence-based policy to protect Canadians, moving this into a public health space rather than a criminal justice space, where the Conservatives continue to want it to be. We know there is more to invest. There is more support for our frontline workers. There is more support for vulnerable Canadians living with addiction right across the country. We will continue to be there, working with our colleagues, provinces and territories, and municipalities to support Canadians with the best science and evidence.

Mr. Speaker, as the budget is in the drafting stage, I remind the Prime Minister of previous Liberal election promises as a useful guide. For example, it could reduce spending by stopping the spending on fossil fuel infrastructure, cancel the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline, cancel the purchases of the F-35 fighter jets, cancel the fossil fuel subsidies across Canada, deliver on promises on pharmacare, fund the disability benefit, fund an independent Canada water agency and deliver on promises to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Will the Prime Minister use this budget to deliver on his promises?

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are facing a difficult time right now, which is why we are going to continue to be there for them, investing in them responsibly to make it through these tough times and get to the brighter future ahead. We know our investments in building a cleaner economy and the good jobs that go with it, our investments in reconciliation and our investments in science and research are all things that are helping Canadians through these difficult times. We will continue to put Canadians at the heart of everything we do.
