Mr. Speaker, if the leader of the Conservative Party really cared about the affordability crisis Canadians are facing, he would be supporting our plan to provide dental care to seniors and young people under 18. He would be helping us provide school lunches to 400,000 more children per year. He would be supporting our measures to create child care spaces. He would be supporting our ambitious measures to create densification and build more housing. However, he prefers to play political games rather than help meet Canadians' needs.

Mr. Speaker, if the Leader of the Opposition actually cared more about Canadians than he does about his own political interests, he would be supporting the 400,000 kids we are going to help with the national school food program. Instead of opposing it at every turn, he would be voting in favour of the dental care program that has already helped over 200,000 seniors and will, as of next week, start helping young people and Canadians with disabilities. He would be standing with us on expanding child care spaces instead of campaigning against it. However, he does not care about Canadians. He cares only about himself.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Ottawa—Vanier for her question and for her hard work. Too many Canadians are struggling with the cost of living. That is why Canadians need a government that has their backs. That is why we are investing in programs like dental care, pharmacare, child care, and the Canada child benefit, which is going out to millions of families tomorrow. Every step of the way, the Conservatives have tried to stop us from supporting Canadians. Despite their empty slogans, they do not care about Canadians, just themselves.
