Mr. Speaker, we are pleased to see the NDP joining us in the fight to protect the Canada pension plan. Actually, one of the very first things we did in government, about six months in, was strengthen the Canada pension plan for future generations.
We will continue to stand against Conservatives, who for decades have been railing against the Canada pension plan. Indeed, the plan by Alberta to dismantle the Canada pension plan and put at risk the pensions of millions of Albertan seniors is absolutely irresponsible.
We will continue to stand in defence of the Canada pension plan and we look forward to standing with all members of the House in doing just that.

Mr. Speaker, how about a different stat, a stat the finance ministry analyzed? It turns out that for an average income quintile group with an average household of 2.5 Canadians, the average net benefit per household in Alberta is $723 a year. That is $723 in the pockets of the average Albertan family because we put a price on pollution that puts more money back in the pockets of eight out of 10 Canadian families.
That is what we are doing. That is how we fight climate change.

Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition wants to talk about places across the country. Let us talk about them: 20,000 Saskatchewanians heat their homes with home heating oil, 50,000 Albertans do and about 100,000 British Columbians do. That is dirty, it is more polluting and it is more expensive, particularly for the predominantly lower-income families that rely on this.
That is why we are moving forward to replace them with heat pumps. We are working with the provinces to deliver free heat pumps for lower-income families so they can save money and fight pollution at the same time.
This is about helping Canadians as we fight climate change, for which the Leader of the Opposition has no plan.

Mr. Speaker, what the hon. Leader of the Opposition continues to put forward is a plan to double down on oil and gas at a time when that is not going to build the careers, the future or the innovation Canadians need.
I was pleased to meet with a number of Albertan business leaders last night to talk about how we are going to work with them, including in the oil and gas industry, to reduce emissions and build a brighter future that includes great jobs for Albertans and workers in the energy sector right across the country.
We have a plan to fight climate change and grow the economy for the future. The Conservative Party has none.

Mr. Speaker, my message to Albertans, indigenous and non-indigenous, is the same as our message to all Canadians who have faced terrible extreme weather events over the past years: We will be there for them.
We will continue to work with the provincial government. I spoke to Premier Smith, just on Monday, to assure her that we are going to be there with CAF supports, with resources, with whatever is needed.
We will be there to work with the Red Cross, and I encourage Canadians to continue to donate generously to the wildfire relief through the Red Cross to help families who are displaced.
We will continue to work with indigenous communities to ensure that they continue to lead on the safety of their communities.
We know we will work together and—

Mr. Speaker, I can very much understand why so many Albertans are preoccupied with the premier's choice to bypass the legislature in order to advance her agenda, but on this side of the House we will remain focused on standing up for Albertans on working constructively with anyone who wants to advance better jobs and a cleaner environment for Albertans, and who wants to work to ensure that they are getting quality health care services with real results and real outcomes.
We are going to continue to work with all Albertans to deliver a brighter future for them.

Mr. Speaker, we do not have to convince Albertans or Saskatchewanians, who have dealt with wildfires, that climate change is real. We do not have to convince British Columbians, who have seen record levels of floods, that climate change is real. We certainly do not have to convince Atlantic Canadians, who are rebuilding after yet another storm of the century, that climate change is real.
People know we need to take action on that, and that is exactly what this government has done by putting a price on pollution to ensure that it is no longer free to pollute anywhere in the country and by giving more money back to families that need it. When is the Conservative leader going to get serious on climate change?
