“The member supports community groups, families, and women when we work together in committee. But she does not ask for those same things when she speaks here in the House.”

“Mr. Speaker, I have a great deal of respect for my colleague. We sit together on a committee and always have lively discussions. What perplexes me about her speeches in the House is that I get the impression there is a disconnect between what she advocates for in committee and what she calls for in the House. She is always very keen to support community organizations, prioritizing support for families and women, yet that is not what I hear once we are in this chamber.”

“We take the housing crisis seriously. We created a new federal agency focused on affordable housing because people spend too much of their income on rent and homes, especially in my riding.”

“Mr. Speaker, we take this very seriously, particularly the housing crisis. We have established a federal agency called Build Canada Homes. It is rare for federal agencies to be created. Under this agency, the government’s priority is affordable housing. We understand that. A large portion of people’s income goes toward housing. This is especially true in the riding I represent, Hochelaga—Rosemont-Est. This is the government’s top priority.”

“The Conservatives say our spending makes life harder for people. But Canadians rely on our help for dental care, child care, and groceries. I want to know what the Conservatives' plan is to help people.”

“Mr. Speaker, my colleague from Hochelaga—Rosemont‑Est just asked a highly relevant question. What is inflationary spending? The Conservatives tell us that our spending is making life harder for Canadians. However, people rely on dental care. People rely on the Canada child benefit. People rely on the GST rebate for groceries. Conservative MPs seem to object to these measures, but we cannot understand why. Do they have a plan to help people, or is it all just empty opposition rhetoric?”

“The Conservatives should stop asking the same question and vote for this bill. It puts more money into the pockets of 12 million Canadians, including people in the member's riding.”

“Mr. Speaker, we will not take any lessons from those Conservatives. Rather than standing up and asking the same question over and over every day this week, my colleague, whom I respect, should instead stand up and vote in favour of Bill C-30, a bill that will put more money in the pockets of 12 million Canadians. I know people in Portneuf who will be happy about that. Will the member do the right thing for the people of Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier? I know they are listening today, and they expect their member of Parliament to stand up for them when they need some support.”

“We are acting quickly to help people in our ridings. We are building affordable housing, cutting taxes, and spending $755 million to make sports affordable for everyone.”

“Mr. Speaker, as my colleague explained, Build Canada Homes is there for affordable housing. We are welcoming athletes to Ottawa today and making sport affordable through a $755-million investment to make sport accessible to all. We are developing projects and programs for our society on so many issues, including tax cuts. On this side of the House, we are taking swift action to help the people in our ridings. In my riding of Thérèse‑De Blainville, I can say that organizations are thanking us for everything we are doing for our constituents.”
