Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for the question. Today we are taking the time to remember the mothers, sisters and daughters across the country who have lost their lives to senseless, preventable violence. Gender-based violence must not and will not be tolerated in Canada. Our government will always fight to end violence against women. This means having firearms legislation and a national action plan to end gender-based violence.

Mr. Speaker, we introduced legislation in the House today that seeks to modernize competition laws to stabilize grocery prices. We encourage everyone in this chamber to vote in favour, including the member opposite. In addition, I wonder why the party opposite continually votes against measures that aim to make life more affordable for Canadians. Whether it is for the Canada child benefit, whether it is for $10-a-day child care or whether it is for supports for small businesses, every single time the party opposite votes against. It is really difficult to understand what its plan is.

Mr. Speaker, on this side of the House, we are here to continue building an economy that works for everyone. That is why we introduced a bill in the House today to build the economy for children, seniors and small businesses and to lower the cost of groceries. That is our plan. I encourage everyone in the House to vote for our plan.

Mr. Speaker, despite the trite rhymes coming from the other side of the House, I would like to remind everybody in the House that we actually have an economic plan, unlike the opposition. Our GDP today is at 4.1% above prepandemic levels. That is higher than Italy, the European Union, France and Germany, and the IMF projects that Canada will have the highest economic growth in the G7 in 2024. That is an economic plan at work.

Mr. Speaker, on this side of the House, we will always invest in our economy and help vulnerable Canadians at the same time. That is why our Canada child benefit has lifted almost 500,000 children out of poverty. That is why we put in place $10-a-day child care. It is so families can go back to work. That is why we are stabilizing grocery prices with the law we introduced in the House today, and we encourage every member of the House to vote in favour of it.

Mr. Speaker, Canada's public servants and their families deserve to have access to their benefits as quickly as possible. I have been in close touch with the supplier and have ensured that the supplier will agree to bringing down call wait times to between five and 10 minutes by December 31, opening call centres on weekends as well as introducing escalation processes for those who are not served well. We will always make sure that Canada's public servants are reimbursed for their benefits. We are grateful for their service every single day.

Mr. Speaker, let us be clear and accurate. Much of the spending referred to by the Leader of the Opposition was provincial in nature, not federal. In addition, unlike the Conservatives, we actually have a plan to help Canadians, especially vulnerable Canadians. The Deputy Prime Minister will table additional aspects of that plan tomorrow in the fall economic statement. Let us be clear. We are here for Canadians every single step of the way, unlike the party opposite that votes against every single time.

Mr. Speaker, unlike the Conservatives, our government has a plan to help Canadians get through this. For example, we are helping four million Canadians by providing the Canada workers benefit and more than six million Canadians by indexing old age security. What is the Conservatives' plan? That is right, they do not have one.
