Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Portneuf—Jacques‑Cartier. I have the pleasure of talking to him regularly in a relatively constructive way. I am wondering about the Conservative narrative. They are claiming to have a magic wand and, once they are in power, they will be able to snap their fingers and build housing and balance the budget without any austerity measures. On the one hand, we have a Prime Minister with outrageous spending habits and no budget plan. On the other, we have an offer to cut everything and build it all back up again without any impact on the support offered to our constituents. I would like to hear what my colleague has to say about supporting seniors. I think that seniors are the ones who are being hit hardest by inflation, as they were by the pandemic, yet the government is doing practically nothing to help them. Will the hon. member support my colleague's bill with that magic wand?
