Mr. Speaker, I am proud to say that over 62% of dental care providers in the province of Quebec are now registered to participate in the Canadian dental care plan. More than 200,000 seniors have already received care through this program, and with more than 694,000 Quebeckers registered and accepted, we can expect that number to keep going up. We can be very proud of supporting our seniors. Many of them have never had access to the care they needed, and they are sharing their relief and joy at finally being able to receive essential health care. The Conservatives and the Bloc voted against it. Now the Conservatives are trying to pretend it does not exist to avoid having to explain and admit that they would cut it, and the Bloc completely ignores it. However, the program is working, and it is improving the lives of Canadians. Let us keep up the great work.

Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Bloc Québécois voted for another Liberal tax hike that will take Quebeckers' money and give it to this Prime Minister's centralizing government. After the vote, the Prime Minister literally thanked them by giving them a thumbs-up. Is that what the “Liberal Bloc” is all about: less money for Quebec home builders, business owners, doctors and entrepreneurs, and more money for the massive Liberal federal government?

Mr. Speaker, our government understands the importance of fairness. We understand that a teacher should not pay tax at a higher rate than a multi-millionaire. We also understand that our decision will give Quebec an additional $3 billion that it can use to invest in health care, for example. The Conservatives do not like health care. They do not like government investments.

Mr. Speaker, this Bloc-backed tax hike is taking money away from doctors, forcing Quebec doctors to move away. Quebec's regions will lose doctors. During a cost of living crisis and a food price crisis, the Bloc Québécois voted to tax farmers even more. The Bloc Québécois voted for a tax on home builders. Why does the “Liberal Bloc” want to tax Quebeckers more, just to hand more money over to a big centralizing government in Ottawa?

Mr. Speaker, Quebeckers understand the importance of fairness. They understand that it is very important for a nurse not to pay tax at a higher rate than the ultrarich. They also understand that we need revenue to invest in health care and child care. Quebec needs these revenues too. That is why the province has decided to do the same thing we are doing at the federal level.

Mr. Speaker, I want to once again point out that we have made an important decision. The House supported an important measure, a measure for fairness that will fund extremely important investments for Canada and Quebec. Through this measure, Quebec will receive $3 billion. I think that, in terms of health care, Quebec will be really pleased—

Madam Speaker, the mission of the Fédération québécoise des chasseurs et pêcheurs is to represent and defend the interests of Quebec hunters and fishers. I would like to commend its president, Marc Renaud, and Mathieu Martin, the sponsor of petition e‑4831, which was signed by nearly 6,000 people who are calling on the government to authorize striped bass fishing in the St. Lawrence and the Saguenay River to ensure the survival of various species. The reason is simple. The reintroduction of the striped bass was successful and its population in the seaway and the Saguenay river is now abundant and stable. Allowing this species to be fished will contribute to biodiversity conservation, which is essential. As a small reminder, hunters are not criminals. The government is off the mark.
