Our government is taking the measures necessary after decades of neglect by the previous opposition and the NDP. Speaker, it was the Liberals who had the chance to raise rates. In fact, they waited until they were about to lose an election to even suggest it. The NDP had a chance to make it a priority when they propped up the Liberals for three years, while they chose to sit on the sidelines and didn’t make it an issue. And while they talked, it was our government that acted. I just find it incredible, the investments that we’re making, that you could have done and you never did. You abandoned it when you could have done it.

We made the investments in social assistance and we’re investing again. We’re indexing rates to inflation. We’ve made historic raises. We’re calling on the federal government to commit to their promise of a Canada Disability Benefit. We’re continuing to make the necessary changes to support people—
