Mr. Speaker, in a few hours, we will unveil the budget so that Canadians can become masters of our destiny, and therefore masters of their own destiny, through affordability, opportunities and, above all, sovereignty, so that we can live our lives as we choose.

Mr. Speaker, we work with a range of countries to improve the situation during the most difficult wars, including wars in Ukraine, the Middle East, Gaza and Sudan. Every time, I have raised issues and solutions with these countries' leaders, and I have offered Canada's assistance.
