Mr. Speaker, the big task I have ahead is cleaning up the mess that he will leave me. He wants me to hold a big parade for him because he has made another promise. This is the guy who said that he spent billions of dollars on the Infrastructure Bank but has not completed a single project. He said it would only cost $7 billion to build the Trans Mountain pipeline. It is up to $30 billion, and it is not even built. He said his $89 billion of spending on housing affordability would make things affordable, but house prices have doubled. Why is it that the more he spends, the worse things get?

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister's main criticism against the former Conservative government is that our housing programs were not expensive enough. If only it had been more expensive to taxpayers, then it would have been a better program. Yes, it is true: This Prime Minister is the heavyweight champion of government spending. The problem is he keeps delivering the worst possible results. House costs have doubled under this Prime Minister and then they are more expensive for the taxpayers who have to fund his incompetent programs at the same time. Why does he not, instead, stop wasting the money and start delivering more houses?

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?
