Mr. Speaker, we are getting this country moving with the biggest transformation of this economy in generations. We are building unprecedented amounts of affordable housing.

We are protecting Canadians. We are building [more]

Mr. Speaker, we have the lowest debt burden in the G7. We have the lowest deficit in the G7. We have the highest credit rating in the G7. What is this government doing?

With an auto strategy, with an electricity strategy, with a climate competitiveness strategy and with a housing [more]

Mr. Speaker, I am blessed with a strong cabinet that is working hard for a strong country. We are taking control of the immigration system.

Mr. Speaker, that is a fundamental question. The opposition member's question has to do with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It is the federal government's responsibility to defend the charter. Proceedings are currently under way before the Supreme Court of Canada. We are awaiting the outcome.

Mr. Speaker, let us take a look at what has happened since this summer. The United States has lost 6,000— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Mr. Speaker, I am blessed with a strong cabinet that is working hard for a strong Canada. Canada's new government is regaining control of the immigration system. Asylum claims are down by a third. The number of international students has fallen by 70%. We have a strong Canada and a balanced immigration system.

Leader of the Opposition leader of the Green Party Mr. Speaker, yes, yesterday, in the presence of the, members of the NDP, theand even the Speaker of the House, I quoted the Bible and I also quoted Marcus Aurelius, like the Leader of the Opposition. That is because there are some principles that are universal. I am talking about virtues, values and examples. These are examples of virtue, [more]
