Mr. Speaker, did the New Democrats choose to continue the work on pharmacare? No. Did they choose to continue the progress on dental? No. Did they choose to make progress on working with provinces and territories in a spirit of collaboration? No. Instead, the New Democrats yielded to a bully. They abdicated the field. They got afraid. They walked away. We are not afraid. We are going to stand up, and we are going to fight for public health care in this country. We are going to get it done. We are going to deliver dental care. We are going to deliver diabetes medication. We are going to make sure that every woman has access to contraceptives, and nothing is going to stop us.

Mr. Speaker, I know that it is painful. I know that they do not like to hear this, but actions and votes have consequences. The Bloc Québécois voted against the national dental care program that is currently under way in the member's riding. I recently had the pleasure of visiting Bromont in the Eastern Townships with my colleague. I met one of her constituents, who is one of the 14,000 people in that riding who are currently receiving dental care. She expressed her thanks. My colleague voted against that.

Mr. Speaker, instead of undermining the interests of Quebeckers, my colleague from Mégantic—L'Érable should be looking out for his constituents and correcting the lies told by his Conservative leader, who says that the Canadian dental care plan does not exist. In my colleague’s riding, 11,000 seniors have registered for the Canadian dental care plan, yet he stands by while his leader claims that the Canadian dental care plan does not exist.

Mr. Speaker, if he spends so much time in Quebec City, then my colleague, the Quebec lieutenant, should have heard what his Conservative leader said on Radio-Canada recently. He said that the Canadian dental care plan does not exist. He said that he cannot say why he is against it because he does not think that it exists, and yet 10,500 seniors in his riding have received their cards for the Canadian dental care plan. How can the member for Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles let his lying Conservative leader say things like that?
