Mr. Speaker, I am so delighted today to welcome my Mississauga—Erin Mills Women's Council and Youth Council to Ottawa. These brave Canadians are doing phenomenal work engaging with constituents to help me advocate on the issues that matter most to us and ours. Over the past year, they have held events and workshops for health and wellness, mental health, career development, entrepreneurship, food insecurity and more. All the while, they continue to contribute to our community in their professional, student and volunteer work. Today, they have brought their advocacy to Ottawa to witness our democracy in action and will meet with officials to share their vision. I want to take this opportunity to thank every member of these councils for their dedication, their leadership and their commitment to our community here in Mississauga—Erin Mills.

Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the NDP-Liberals, taxes are up, costs are up, crime is up and now time is up. The NDP leader claims to be a voice of opposition, but for the past two years he has sold out Canadians by supporting the Liberals, who are hiking the tax on our food and doubling housing costs, and who have unleashed crime and chaos on our streets. Following his media stunt, he refuses to state whether the NDP will vote to force a carbon tax election at the next opportunity. The truth is that the New Democrats have voted for the carbon tax 24 times. They have been part of the Liberal problem. They have been there every step of the way. Canadians need a carbon tax election now to decide between the costly Liberal-NDP coalition, which will hike taxes on our food, punish people who work and take their money, or a common-sense Conservative government that will axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime. Let us bring it home.

Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the NDP-Liberals, taxes are up, costs are up, crime is up and time is up. Canadians are fed up with the corruption, self-dealings and conflicts that define the rotten Liberal government. The latest example is the Prime Minister's decision to hire carbon tax Carney as his economic adviser, conveniently employing him through the Liberal Party to avoid conflict of interest disclosures. Every day, there are new questions about conflicts surrounding carbon tax Carney. Just yesterday, we learned that carbon tax Carney is negotiating with the very Liberal government he is supposed to be advising in funnelling 10 billion taxpayer dollars to an investment fund owned by his company, Brookfield. This is an outrageous abuse. That is enough of the Liberal corruption. Canadians deserve a carbon tax election, and they deserve one now.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity today to congratulate Simon Henneuse, a 24-year-old young man with autism spectrum disorder. Simon was hired through the Canada summer jobs program by Initiatives Biodiversité, a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of endangered species across the Laurentian region. Simon recently helped rescue a painted turtle hit by a vehicle on Highway 329 in my riding. He also took part in rehabilitating the turtle, who was given the name Hope. On Friday, Hope and two of her hatchlings were released at Solar Lake, in the municipality of Gore. Simon's experience shows that the Canada summer jobs program plays an essential role in fostering the inclusion of young people with social and occupational integration challenges. Good job, Simon.

Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the Bloc Québécois, I would like to thank the people of LaSalle—Émard—Verdun for placing their trust in Louis-Philippe Sauvé. Mr. Sauvé made just one election promise, specifically to prove himself worthy of that trust. I have known Louis-Philippe for many years, and I am sure he will keep his word. The people sent a clear message by electing someone who staunchly defends the interests of Quebeckers in southwest Montreal. He shares their concerns about housing, climate change and the cost of living. He ran a positive campaign, focusing on things like the French language, for example, rather than sowing fear and division. He ran a smart campaign, appealing to the intelligence of voters with realistic proposals. Above all, the people elected someone whose heart is in the right place, who is in tune with the aspirations of the people of LaSalle—Émard—Verdun, someone who shows courage in the face of adversity. Louis-Philippe Sauvé belongs with us on the Hill. Louis-Philippe, welcome home and congratulations.

Mr. Speaker, carbon tax Carney is just nine days into his role as the de facto finance minister, and he is already cashing in on his conflicts of interest to enrich himself at taxpayers' expense. Yesterday we learned that his firm is about to get a $10-billion sweetheart deal from his friends in the Liberal government to run his fund. We cannot even make this up. Every day, there are new questions about his conflicts. Just days after his official appointment, his close friend the CEO of Telesat got more than $2 billion of Canadians' tax dollars to build a broadband network that other firms could have built for half that price. While Canadians struggle to put food on the table, it has never been better to be a well-connected Liberal. It is time to come clean. How much does carbon tax Carney and his firm at Brookfield pocket in management fees from taxpayers in this new fund? If the Liberals do not plan on answering us, I am sure the Ethics Commissioner can shed some light on the brazen corruption of Canada's unelected finance minister, who is gunning for the PM's job. In the meantime, they get rich and Canadians get fleeced.

Mr. Speaker, Phil Fontaine, one of the greatest indigenous leaders in Canadian history, will be celebrating his 80th birthday. He rose from poverty and the cruelty of residential schools to challenge discrimination and colonialism at the highest levels of political and religious power. As national chief, Phil Fontaine attained apologies from both our Parliament and the Vatican for their destructive treatment of indigenous children and played a key role in negotiating the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement. Under his leadership, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission paved the way for a national dialogue on healing and justice. Fontaine helped to reshape how Canada confronts its past, promoting understanding, respect and mutual recognition. His legacy will be the inspiration for a new generation to continue the reconciliation journey toward a fair and inclusive future for all Canadians. I invite the House to join me in honouring Phil Fontaine's lifetime of service and achievement.

Mr. Speaker, we just found out that the Bloc Québécois is going to vote to keep the most costly and centralizing Prime Minister in power. This government has doubled the cost of housing and the national debt. It taxed food, punished workers and broke our immigration system, pushing Quebec to the breaking point. How can the Bloc Québécois abandon Quebeckers to support the most costly and centralizing Prime Minister in our country's history?

Mr. Speaker, once again, we see that the Leader of the Opposition is concerned only about his own political interests and not the interests of Canadians or Quebeckers. That is why we will continue to invest in Canadians. We will continue to be there for Quebeckers by implementing the dental care program and by ensuring that there are more child care spaces. We will be there to invest instead of pushing for austerity and budget cuts, like the Conservative leader would do for everybody, as we well know.

Mr. Speaker, it is in Canadians' best interests to axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime, so that Quebeckers can get bigger paycheques and pensions to buy food and have access to affordable housing in safe communities. That is what we need after nine years of the “Liberal Bloc”, which doubled the cost of housing, doubled the debt and broke our immigration system. Why is the Bloc Québécois voting against Quebec and in favour of this centralizing Liberal Prime Minister?

Mr. Speaker, once again, we are seeing that the Conservative leader is great on slogans and believes in slogans, but he does not believe in Canadians and Quebeckers. He does not want to invest to help people get dental care. He does not want to be there to help seniors and young people. He is there to cut programs. He is there to fight against climate action and against putting money into the pockets of Canadians who need it. He has nothing to offer. He is obsessed with his own thirst for power. We are obsessed with Quebeckers and Canadians and what we can do for them.

Mr. Speaker, the NDP leader sold out Canadians to sign on to a costly coalition that doubled the debt, doubled the housing costs and sent two million people to food banks and 1,800 to tent encampments. He voted 24 times for the carbon tax. Since he did his dramatic video, he has refused to answer 40 times whether he would vote non-confidence. Now that he knows that the Bloc is going to keep the Liberals in power, he will stand up and claim that he is voting against. Why will the NDP not stand up when it counts so that we can end this costly coalition and elect a common-sense government?

Mr. Speaker, once again, we see that the Leader of the Opposition enjoys his political games and enjoys chasing after his own political interests; however, he does not have a second to care about Canadians' interests. He is actually in a bad mood because inflation has come down for Canadians. He does not care about their interests. That is why we are going to continue to deliver for Canadians. We are going to continue to step up with investments that are going to support Canadians as we fight climate change and build a brighter future for everyone.

Mr. Speaker, we point out the performance of the Leader of the Opposition, and his colleagues get all upset because they know that he does not actually care about Canadians. He does not care about the programs we are delivering. He does not care about stepping up to support Canadians. He is actually in a bad mood because inflation has come down to 2% and it ruins his little “Justinflation” slogan. He is so upset because he cares about his own interests and not the interests of Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, the “Justinflation” tag line works now better than ever. He can try to call himself Rocky Balboa and play fight songs to aggrandize himself as the star, but the people lined up at food banks, two million of them every month, know better. The people who are living in the 1,800 Ontario tent encampments know better. In the 35 homeless encampments in Halifax, the people there know better. They know that we need to fire this costly carbon tax coalition so we can elect a common-sense government that will bring it home for them.
