Madam Speaker, the member started off by talking about the Greek word for “crisis” and the words about cutting away choices. I know that people in my community are worried about Conservative cuts. They are worried about seeing the same thing they saw in the Harper government, where there were cuts to health care and investments in housing. We need to invest in building more housing and getting non-profit housing providers the funding and support they need to buy up buildings and protect them from real estate investment trusts and corporate landlords. I am curious whether the member supports the idea of investing in a rental protection fund, investing in building housing and ensuring that we are increasing our housing supply. What I would like to see cut—

Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives certainly cannot be counted on to defend Quebec's interests, and certainly not those of the Quebec government. The Conservatives, including unfortunately my colleague from the Quebec region, want to cut everything, and this includes cuts to child care, housing, public transit and health transfers. How is making cuts, cuts and more cuts, including cuts to supports for Quebeckers, good for Quebec?

Mr. Speaker, we are going to cut taxes and cut cost increases for Quebeckers. That is where we are going to make cuts. The “Liberal Bloc” has made no gains for Quebec. Now, it is going to blindly support a centralizing Liberal government that is taking money out of Quebeckers' pockets to feed a big federal machine that imposes programs in areas under Quebec's jurisdiction; a government that is creating immigration chaos, pushing Quebec to the breaking point; a government that is imposing an order that will wipe out forestry jobs. Even the Premier of Quebec is begging the Bloc Québécois to vote to defeat this terrible government. Will the Liberal Prime Minister admit that his new Bloc ally is harming Quebec's interests?
