Mr. Speaker, after nine years of this Liberal Prime Minister, more and more Quebeckers are going hungry. I was touring Abitibi last week, and the food bank in Rouyn-Noranda is witnessing a very disturbing trend: fully 54% of the people who use the food bank in Rouyn-Noranda have a job. These people are working and getting paid, they do have money, but they do not have enough money to feed themselves. That is what Canada has come to, after nine years of this Liberal government, with the support of the Bloc Québécois, which blindly voted for $500 billion in inflationary spending. Is the government aware of this mess?

Mr. Speaker, the St. Lawrence River is the lifeblood of Quebec. It is the cradle of the Quebec nation, which has grown and developed along its shores over four centuries. We now see that climate change is damaging those shores, threatening biodiversity and jeopardizing the survival of species that have been fished for generations. In the meantime, the federal government is investing $34 billion in a dirty oil pipeline. Dirty oil is the primary cause of global warming. Ottawa is literally making Quebeckers pay to harm our own ecosystems. How much longer will we agree to entrust our money to this irresponsible country?

Mr. Speaker, after nine years under this Prime Minister, more and more Quebeckers are going hungry or living on the streets. The Bloc Québécois voted for $500 billion in spending. It claims to represent Quebeckers, but then it turns its back on them and votes in favour of inflationary, centralizing spending. While Quebeckers are suffering, the Bloc Québécois is voting to give the federal government more money and Quebec less. Which minister in this Bloc-Liberal government is going to stand up and defend these inflationary policies?

Mr. Speaker, after nine years under this Prime Minister, more and more Quebeckers are going hungry and living in the streets, in dire need. While Canadians are suffering because of the Liberals' inflationary policies, the Bloc Québécois continues to encourage them. Quebeckers are struggling under the weight of this broken economy, but what is the Bloc Québécois doing? It is voting in favour of a $500‑billion budget. The Bloc Québécois and the Prime Minister are simply not worth the cost. Can this Bloc-Liberal government show a bit of empathy for Quebeckers and think about their interests for once?
