Mr. Speaker, these are small-time blues. They are melting away. I will make a new start of it in old New York. I cannot sing very well, but at least I pay for my hotel rooms. Will he pay for his hotel costs when he goes to New York tonight?

Mr. Speaker, public service workers have been waiting for over two years for a fair contract. Liberals like to talk a lot about workers' rights, but when they offer workers in the public sector what is effectively a pay cut when they are asking for salaries that keep up with inflation, they are no better than Conservatives. Will the Prime Minister get serious about these workers, cancel his trip and get these workers a fair contract?

Mr. Speaker, at a time when a family has to pay $2,500 just for one room in a house, when 1.5 million Canadians are accessing food banks and others are asking for medical assistance in dying because they are too poor to go on living after eight years of this Prime Minister, the Prime Minister is going to New York again, after billing taxpayers $6,000 for a hotel room in London. Will the Prime Minister show some respect for the people who pay his bills and announce today that he will repay the $6,000 for the hotel room in London?

Mr. Speaker, after sending 1.5 million people to the food bank, forcing families to spend 2,500 bucks to rent a single room in a townhouse and causing the highest food price inflation in a generation, he is off to New York to celebrate again. This is the same Prime Minister who spent $6,000 on a single hotel room for a single night at taxpayers' expense. Will he show a little decency and announce today he will pay that $6,000 back to Canadian taxpayers?

Mr. Speaker, he has already admitted it was him who stayed in that $6,000-a-night room. He tried to cover it up for months, but he got caught, and now Canadians know that while they are eating at food banks, while they are skipping meals and while they are crammed into one bedroom in a townhouse he is spending $6,000 of their tax dollars per night on a single room. I will make him a deal. I will never raise this issue again if he stands today and announces he will pay the money back. Will he do that for Canadians?
