Madam Chair, the plan is jobs and economic growth.
Let me tell the House about some other people who did the math and came up with an AAA grade for Canada. That is the economists at S&P. Their job is to determine the creditworthiness of borrowers, of countries, and when they looked at our budget, they saw that the numbers, including the growth supportive measures, add up. They reaffirmed Canada's AAA rating, the highest rating possible. Let me remind members that Canada continues to have the lowest debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7.

Madam Chair, I just need to say a few more things about the Air Canada deal. Our government [Technical difficulty] so we have an upside, and there are strict limits on executive compensation.

Madam Chair, the Canada child benefit top-up, which has been lamentably delayed by the filibustering tactics of the Conservatives, is going to provide crucial support to Canadian families as we get through these last weeks and months of COVID.

Madam Chair, let me just point out again that it is the members on the opposite side of the House, in particular the Conservatives, who have delayed this essential support coming to Canadian families. They—

Madam Chair, the Canada child benefit is a program that has lifted millions of Canadian children out of poverty. It is such an effective program that it is being used as a model in the United States—

Madam Chair, let me just underscore how important the Canada child benefit was before COVID as a program to lift Canadian children out of poverty, and this top-up in the fall economic statement is essential for Canadian families. Thank goodness it is—

Madam Chair, I hazard to guess that I speak more with the municipal leadership of Edmonton than do the members on the opposite side of the House, and I am very proud of the innovative programs Edmonton has put in place to tackle homelessness.

Madam Chair, I would like to just salute Edmonton for its innovative and, I would say, Canada-leading programs on people experiencing homelessness. I am pleased, although somewhat surprised, to see the new-found concern for homelessness on the Conservative benches. I would encourage the Conservatives to vote for the budget, which includes $1.5 billion for the rapid housing initiative.

Now that the problem has been resolved, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the interpreters. They must be tired as well.
Let me say I welcome the rather surprising conversion of the Conservatives to really caring about homelessness. Why do you guys not put your vote where your questions are, support the budget—

Madam Chair, the rapid housing initiative is $1.5 billion. Vote for it in the budget. I would urge all members to vote for it in the budget. It is a great way to end homelessness.

Madam Chair, I thank the member for her question.
I completely agree that this is an economic and health crisis. That is why the federal government was there to support the provinces and territories on health care and will continue to be.
With Bill C-10, we hope to provide an additional $4 billion for health care, to help the provinces and territories deal with the immediate pressure on their health care systems, in particular to help them clear health care system backlogs caused by the pandemic. We know that this assistance is urgent, and that is why I hope all members will support Bill C-30.
Furthermore, the bill would provide $1 billion for the vaccine rollout. I hope that all members will agree that the provinces need this money. They need this assistance.
