Madam Speaker, the fall economic statement made announcements about social housing but did not really provide any money. I would like my colleague to tell us a little about the problems we can expect to see as we wait for the new funding to become available not this year, but down the road, in 2025.

Mr. Speaker, more competition means more lower prices, more choice and more innovative products and services for Canadians. Our affordability legislation will empower the Competition Bureau to hold grocers accountable and prioritize consumers' interests. The fall economic statement proposes further amendments to the Competition Act to crack down on predatory pricing to better respond to anti-competitive mergers and more. We are ensuring that Canadians have more competitive options. We are limiting excess profits by corporations at the expense of Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, again, I will note that our carbon pricing mechanism sends more money back to lower-income families. That includes both the fiscal amount and the economic impact. Something the Conservatives love to not focus on is the impact of climate change. Climate change impacts the price of food more than any other factor. We are also helping farmers, because farmers are the ones that know climate change is real because it impacts them first. That is what is driving up the cost of food.

Mr. Speaker, my colleague is absolutely right. Our government is a partner in economic development, not only in Quebec, but across the country. Unlike the Conservative leader, who wants to take us back to the Stone Age and fossil fuels, we are investing in innovative green projects, such as the Carrefour d'innovation bioalimentaire de l'Est in Montreal, the transformation of mine tailings into fertilizer in Thetford Mines and the manufacture of brake pads for wind turbines in Gaspésie. We will continue to invest in the economy of the future. I would like to know what the Conservative Party is going to cut for business owners in Quebec.
