Mr. Speaker, while the Conservative Party focuses on schoolyard taunts, we are going to stay focused on being there for Canadians.
We have stepped up with investments that have helped Canadians significantly through this difficult time. We know people are facing tough times, and that is why we continue to step up with a doubling of the GST credit over six months, with moving forward on support for low-income renters and so that all families can send their kids to the dentists.
Unfortunately and inexplicably, despite all of his rhetoric, the Leader of the Opposition stood against those last two measures.
We are hoping that they are going to see that investing in and supporting Canadians, not abandoning the middle class, is what we need from them.

Mr. Speaker, on the contrary, when we saw the challenges Canadians were dealing with during the pandemic, the federal government stepped up with $72 billion in extra investments in health care, on top of the $40 billion we send the provinces every year for health care delivery. We know it is going to take more.
We are going to sit down with the provinces next week to talk about how to boost investment and co-operation to provide better health care to Canadians across the country, within our public system, of course.

Mr. Speaker, over the past eight years, we have consistently stepped up for the middle class and people working hard to join it, with the Canada child benefit that Conservatives voted against, with child care agreements across the country that Conservatives campaigned against, with investments in rental benefits for low-income renters and with investments so that all families could take their kids to the dentist.
These are the kinds of things that we have invested in. They have not only benefited Canadians but also created a strong and growing economy. The Conservatives have had nothing to offer but a recommendation around Bitcoin.

Mr. Speaker, yes, we will be there with additional investments in our health care system. That is what I have been saying for months—years, even.
What matters to Canadians is getting quality health care. We need more family doctors, more mental health support and more ER staff, and that means investing in the health care system. I am looking forward to sitting down with provincial representatives to move forward on this so we can help Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

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, 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.
