Mr. Speaker, Canadians know full well that when Conservatives talk about spending, what they really want is to make cuts.
They want to take away dental care for Canadians. They want to shut down child care centres. They want to end investments in the green economy. That is the reality of Conservative policy, which is so dangerous for Canada.

Mr. Speaker, obviously, as an anglophone and member from Ontario, I cannot speak for the Bloc Québécois, but I know that Quebec, the Quebec nation, understands the importance of the environment and the importance of industrial investments in the green economy.
We are proud to do that. We are proud to do that with the support of all members who understand the importance of Canada's industrial economy.

Mr. Speaker, Canadians have learned through bitter experience that, when Conservatives talk about the public finances, what they are really talking about is cutting the government support Canadians depend on. What they are talking about is cutting early learning and child care, which is supporting labour force participation at record levels in Canada and, by the way, making life more affordable for Canadian families. They want to cut dental care. They want to cut essential investments in our green future.

Mr. Speaker, since we are asking questions of MPs, I have a couple of questions for the Leader of the Opposition. I want to know how much it costs to heat the 19-room government mansion that he lives in. That would be interesting for Canadians to understand.
The good news for Canadians is that we are helping them with the cost of heating with the carbon rebate. Did his family cash their carbon rebate cheque? It is almost a thousand bucks.

Mr. Speaker, people who live in glass houses really should not throw stones, and the Leader of the Opposition may be bragging about what he pays for, but I think Canadians should understand that he does not pay any rent on that 19-room mansion that he lives in. In fact, he has been on the government payroll for more than 20 years, and he qualified for a full pension at 35. Now, he wants to take the rebate away from Ontario families. It is $1,000 a year, and he wants to take that away.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member opposite for pointing to the importance of the great city I have the privilege of representing, Toronto, which is such an engine of economic growth for our entire country. We are having very constructive conversations with the City of Toronto and with the Province of Ontario. We are providing $1.5 billion for Toronto in 2023-24. We are there for Toronto more than any government in Canadian history.

Mr. Speaker, let me tell members what is really out of touch. What is out of touch is for a Toronto MP, like the one sitting opposite, to be saying to the people of Ontario, to the hard-working families of Ontario, “We are going to take away the $974 you are getting back thanks to the price on pollution. We are going to cut that money that goes directly to your family budget. Oh, and by the way, we are going to cut day care and dental care along the way too.”
That is not going to help anyone is Canada.

Mr. Speaker, when it comes to being out of touch with regular Canadians, I will tell members what was out of touch. It was having a temporary leader who charged $20,000 to move into her temporary house and then charged Canadian taxpayers more than $5,000 for bed and bath linens, which is for towels and sheets.
What Canadians need to know is that these Conservatives would cut child care, dental care and the carbon rebate people are getting.

Mr. Speaker, we will take no lessons from these austerity Conservatives when it comes to supporting the most vulnerable Canadians. Since we formed government, 2.3 million Canadians have been lifted out of poverty, and the poverty rate has fallen from 14.5% when they were in government to 7.4%.
The Conservatives want to cut child care and dental care. That MP from Alberta wants to cut the $1,500 Alberta families are getting from the price on pollution.

Mr. Speaker, bitter experience has taught Canadians that whenever Conservatives talk about public finances, whenever they talk about saving money, what they are talking about is taking money away from Canadians.
They are talking, to be very specific, about taking away early learning and child care. They are talking about taking away dental care and about taking away the investments in things like the EV factories in Ontario that are the jobs of today and the future.

Mr. Speaker, we have learned just now about one specific thing Conservatives will cut. I am an MP for Ontario. The member opposite is too. They are going to cut the nearly $1,000 that an average family of four in Ontario is getting right now. That is money that is helping people every day. Of course they are going to cut child care; they voted against it. They are going to cut dental care, and they will not make the investments our economy needs.

Mr. Speaker, I am very happy to get a question from a Quebec MP about our government's investments, because this gives me the opportunity to talk about our investments in early childhood care. This initiative started in Quebec. We are proud to be helping Quebec with this crucial work.
We are also proud that our work with the province has led to the biggest investment in Quebec's history, the investment in Northvolt.
