Mr. Speaker, today I would like to congratulate the Centre Promo Santé, an organization located in Ferme-Neuve. For nearly 20 years, its mission has been to promote fitness and physical activity through two programs that focus on risk factors and rehabilitation. Target groups can access the organization's equipment and professional services free of charge. Thanks to the vision of Dr. Luc Laurin, the organization's president, the Centre Promo Santé is now affiliated with the Montreal Heart Institute's EPIC Centre and is participating in a research project aimed at preventing cognitive decline. We know that keeping our community healthy means adopting healthy habits and surrounding ourselves with people who have experience in this area. I want to thank the staff, volunteers and all the health specialists for their dedication to heart health.

Mr. Speaker, while the Leader of the Opposition continues to focus on me, we will continue to focus on Canadians, including by moving forward on strengthening health care. We are in the process of signing historic deals with all the provinces to deliver more family doctors, to deliver better mental health care, to deliver better supports for our frontline workers and a reduction of backlogs, and to deliver better data collection right across the country, so we can make sure Canadians are getting the best possible health care from coast to coast to coast. On top of that, we are moving forward with a dental care plan that is going to deliver dental care for Canadians right across the country, and he voted against that.

Mr. Speaker, when I mentioned the importance of setting the record straight, I was referring to the type of comments the member just made. I would tell the member to refer to the press release from FADOQ. Yes, FADOQ acknowledges the one-time grocery rebate. Who could be against apple pie? Everyone is in favour of apple pie. FADOQ says that it is indeed a good measure. However, FADOQ goes on to say that the Liberal government could have done more, that it could have increased the guaranteed income supplement, that it broke its promise to bring in a tax credit for experienced workers, and that it could have taken this opportunity to increase old age security by 10%. I listen to seniors who say that there were not enough measures in this budget. As for dental care, that is Quebec's responsibility. The National Assembly of Quebec is calling for Quebec to get the money to run the dental program itself. That is what the National Assembly of Quebec is asking for. As far as the environment is concerned, how can we really talk about public health when the government keeps funding the oil companies that emit greenhouse gases? That is greenwashing, as the member said. There is greenwashing, but the member is also playing fast and loose with information on seniors. A one-time cheque does not help seniors in the long term.
