Mr. Speaker, $976 is what an average family of four in that member's riding will be getting this year with the climate action incentive. That is because we are not only moving forward with a price on pollution that helps fight climate change but also giving money back to average families in jurisdictions where it applies. Across the country, this will leave eight out of 10 of them better off. This is how we fight climate change and support families while drawing in global investments like those from Michelin, Volkswagen and others that want to be part of Canadian workers' successes.

Mr. Speaker, the Conservative Party of Canada continues to refuse to understand that we cannot have a plan for the future of the economy if we do not have a plan to fight climate change. They continue to mislead Canadians, to confuse the issue and to harm workers across this country. Volkswagen is choosing to invest in Canada. Rio Tinto is making investments in Canada. ArcelorMittal is investing in Hamilton. If these things are happening, they are happening because of the leadership that Canadians, the Canadian government and Canadian workers are showing in tackling climate change and building a stronger future.

Mr. Speaker, we have worked with provinces, initiatives and proponents across the country on historic investments in clean energy to transition toward decarbonizing our traditional energy sources. This is what we will continue to do to ensure that Canada is ready for the opportunities and investments that are coming in to create great jobs for workers right across the country. That is what our budget is focused on, creating those great jobs for the middle class in critical minerals, in manufacturing, in CCUS, in energy, in a range of things that are going to position Canada as that supplier of energy and resources the net-zero world needs.

Mr. Speaker, after 10 years of a Conservative government's underinvesting in housing if investing at all, we brought forward in 2017 a national housing strategy that has created new opportunities for millions of Canadians to get into homes. We have continued to invest in things like the housing accelerator that works with municipalities to create hundreds of thousands of new homes over the coming years. We are doubling housing creation over the next 10 years with investments like the rapid housing accelerator, with direct supports for homebuyers and with tax-free savings accounts. There is no one silver bullet on this, but we are delivering them all.

Mr. Speaker, during the pandemic, we increased the funding for the Canada summer program to help young people. Now that the worst of the pandemic is behind us, we are bringing the funding back to prepandemic levels, with a bit of an increase. We invested even more in different programs to help young people. Young people no longer have to pay interest on their federal student loans. We made bigger investments in programs and bursaries for them. We will continue to be there for young people. I thank my colleague for his very good question.
