Mr. Speaker, we know that Canadians across the country are feeling the effects of increased prices, particularly for groceries and housing. That is why we are taking immediate action to build more apartment buildings by removing the GST on construction work, to support small businesses by extending their loan repayment deadlines and to invite the sector CEOs to a meeting today to make sure that they lower grocery prices. Our priority is to build an economy that is focused on the well-being of all Canadians. That is what we are going to do every day in the House and in the government.

Mr. Speaker, actions speak louder than words and we are taking action. We are building thousands of housing units in London and cutting red tape. We are encouraging cities like Calgary to present even more ambitious proposals and we are making sure that affordable apartments are built across the country by cutting the GST on construction. If the CEOs of the big grocery chains do not make groceries more affordable then we will. Those are the measures Canadians are looking for and that is what we are doing to build an economy that works for everyone.

Mr. Speaker, our focus is on making life more affordable and ensuring that corporations pay their fair share. The Minister of Innovation met today with the CEOs of the large grocery chains to reinforce the immediate need to stabilize food prices and improve competition. Indeed, we are introducing changes to competition here in Canada to address the rise in food prices, among others. We will, every day, continue to build an economy that works for all Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, when we look at what happened in our area of the country, Fiona alone destroyed barns and killed cattle. It destroyed wharfs. The fact is that if we do not deal with the economy the cost of everything will go up. We have invested in climate change and this government will continue to invest in climate change so we will have a place to live.
