Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. Inflation slowed in Canada last month. Speaking of Canadians' rent, I cannot for the life of me figure out why the Conservatives voted against a direct benefit we offered Canadians specifically to help them make ends meet. We are here to support Canadians.

Madam Speaker, we have introduced the Canada housing benefit to be there for Canadian renters. We have also introduced the top-up payment of $500 that is going toward almost two million Canadians to support them with the cost of rent. What did the party opposite do? Not only did it vote against that real help for Canadian renters, but it also played procedural games in the House to delay its implementation. I would urge the hon. member to have a conversation with her caucus members, who believe that the federal government should actually do less on affordable housing.
