Mr. Speaker, Canadians are stretched to the limit. They are struggling to get by. They are at the end of their rope, they are fed up and they cannot take any more. Meanwhile, this government is digging in its heels and taking even more money out of their pockets and off their paycheques. It is continuing with its plan to increase the price of gas, groceries and housing. The people in my riding talk to me about it every day. The Prime Minister should stop taking luxury vacations all over the world and listen to Canadians, who also talk to him every day. Will he finally put an end to his policies that are driving up the cost of consumer goods?

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. Listening to Canadians is exactly what we did. It is something that the Conservatives should do. Canadians told us three things. First, they told us that they need help with the cost of groceries. That is why we proposed a grocery rebate that will help 11 million Canadians across the country. Second, Canadians told us that they want a family doctor. That is why we took action in health. Third, Canadians told us that they need help getting ready to succeed in the 21st-century economy. That is exactly what we are doing. We are positioning Canada for the 21st-century economy.
