Mr. Speaker, every Canadian and every Quebecker knows that the Conservatives do not support the less fortunate. Our government is the one supporting all Canadians, including the less fortunate. This month, UNICEF released data showing that poverty levels in Canada have decreased by 22%. The Conservatives only know how to make cuts. We are here for all Canadians, especially the less fortunate.

Mr. Speaker, we will take no lessons from the Conservatives when it comes to supporting the most vulnerable in Canada. Let us review the facts. UNICEF came out with a report just this month that showed child poverty in Canada has decreased by 22% compared to where the Conservatives left Canadians. Under our government, 2.3 million more Canadians have been lifted out of poverty. The Conservatives know how to cut. They do not know how to support Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, Canada today has 1.1 million more jobs than before COVID. The jobs recovery has been six months faster than it was after the 2008 recession, when the Conservatives were in office. Canada's GDP is more than 104% higher now than it was before COVID. The GDP recovery was four months faster than after the 2008 recession, which was much more mild. The Conservatives do not know how to support the most vulnerable among us and they do not know how to have an economic plan for jobs either. We do.

Mr. Speaker, for once, we heard something true from the Conservatives. Yes, the finance minister does believe in talking about numbers, so let us talk about some numbers. There are 1.1 million more jobs in Canada now than before COVID. Eight out of 10 Canadians have more money in their pockets thanks to carbon pricing. Last week, I was in Edmonton. We have one of the largest investments in Canadian history, more than $11 billion from Dow. Do members know why? It is because of our price on pollution. That is what the Dow CEO told us was underpinning his investment—

Mr. Speaker, a UNICEF report released this month shows the truth, which is that child poverty in Canada is down 22% under our government. However, do members know who is driving up prices? It is Vladimir Putin. He is driving up the prices of fuel and food. The member opposite has the privilege of representing a rural Manitoba constituency. It was Ukrainian Canadians who settled Canada's Prairies, and we owe it to the people of Ukraine to support them today and not betray Ukraine as the Conservatives have done.
