Mr. Speaker, as this parliamentary session begins, I rise to recognize the important work that firefighters did throughout the summer from coast to coast to coast. From protecting our communities to saving people's lives, firefighters are true heroes who put the country's interests ahead of their own. On behalf of the constituents of Vancouver Granville, I want to thank B.C. firefighters and Vancouver's fire rescue services for all they do. Their dedication and courage inspire us all. Firefighters are vital pillars of our community who safeguard us from the devastating impact of climate change. They are there to save lives in our homes or in public spaces. We know that we can count on their bravery and commitment to protecting Canadians. They show up for us at community barbecues, they are there in our homes and they are always there to make sure that we are okay. That is why we have always been there for our firefighters and why that will never change. From important measures on cancer treatment to unprecedented funding for training and recruitment, we are just getting started. My thanks to those firefighters.

Mr. Speaker, like so many of his plans, his plan consists entirely of slogans and personal attacks on me, on mayors and on Canadians who are working to get things done. We are investing. We are in partnership with municipalities to change zoning laws, to invest in public lands and to support non-profits to build more units. I was just in Vancouver meeting with the extraordinary folks of the Vancouver Chinatown Foundation who are delivering a unit that a young woman can now live in and afford because of investments this federal government has delivered. We are going to be there for Canadians, while the Leader of the Opposition is there for himself.
