Oral Questions
Mr. Speaker, extortion is exploding and terrorizing communities across Canada, such as Brampton and Surrey. Homes and businesses are being threatened and shot at. Families are living in fear. Some residents have recently fled the country. Their families are in fear for their lives. This crime surge cannot become the new normal. Canadians are paying the price, but Canadians deserve safety, not excu…

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his excellent insight. He mentioned fiscal mismanagement, the cost of living and the deficit in his speech. Given that the Prime Minister mentioned that he would be judged by the price of groceries, why is it that Bill C-15 does nothing meaningful to reduce grocery prices, mortgage renewals or rent hikes, and instead layers on more spending that fuels inflatio…

Mr. Chair, because the government has no industrial strategy, it makes announcements not results. While the U.S. fought for its workers, the Prime Minister was busy making excuses. Conservatives will fight to bring those jobs home by securing fair trade deals, cutting taxes on Canadian-made vehicles and restoring confidence in our manufacturing sector.

Mr. Chair, we all know how the auto sector is being impacted. The Prime Minister's plan is failing families across Canada, and his so-called negotiating skills have cost Brampton workers their jobs. For years he boasted that he knew how to get deals done, but when it mattered most, he delivered nothing. Conservatives will restore real leadership, real strategy and real negotiation that protect Can…

Mr. Chair, the member opposite's questions were wonderful, and I really appreciate the concern she has for auto workers in Brampton as well. We all know that the auto sector has been hit hard because of Liberal trade policies for years. When we are giving $10 billion without any jobs guarantees, that is a clear indication that government is not doing its due diligence, and it is impacting people. …

Mr. Chair, I rise today on behalf of the people of Brampton West and on behalf of thousands of auto workers across this country whose livelihoods have been thrown into crisis. On October 14, Stellantis announced it would move Jeep Compass production from Brampton to the U.S. There are 3,000 direct jobs at risk and another 12,000 supply chain jobs threatened. Up to 15,000 families in Peel face econ…

Mr. Speaker, the Liberals keep talking about generational investment. I mentioned in my speech that it is generational theft. It is a generational amortization of our families and of our young kids, those who would pay for the debt the Liberals will create. On the matter of housing, I am so happy to hear that the member agrees. However, he is unable to identify the problem, which needs to be dealt…

Mr. Speaker, we all know that Canadians have to rely on health care and today it is a reality that our debt service is much more than the health care transfers to the provinces. We want to see a government that is looking into the specifics and doing what is needed so we can give a better life to Canadians everywhere across the country.

Mr. Speaker, that is a wonderful question. My community in Brampton is really suffering through extortion, shootings and criminal activities. Not a day passes that I do not hear from the people of Brampton that somebody got shot or someone got an extortion call. Recently, I would like to mention, I got a call from a resident who said he had received a call for $1 million in extortion money. This i…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak to Bill C-15, the budget implementation act, and to give a voice to Brampton West residents and all Canadians who feel that the government has forgotten them. Families are falling behind, seniors are struggling and young Canadians' dreams of owning a home have been stolen by Liberal mismanagement. The Liberal government is now in its 10th year of driving our coun…

Madam Speaker, the hon. member opposite, when asking his question, said they copied us. That is true, but they did not copy our bill in its entirety. Otherwise, we would have supported their bill. We are asking them to support our bill, Bill C-242. We would love to bring in safety for Canadians. Canadians are suffering every single day. Canadians are suffering when they walk down the street. Neigh…

Madam Speaker, I want to bring up some numbers, for perspective. Since 2015, violent crime is up 55%, firearms offences are up 130%, extortion is up 330%, sexual assaults are up 76% and homicide is up 29%. These are clear indications that something is not working for the safety of Canadians. I am talking with every single stakeholder and enforcement agency and the Peel police about how we can fix …

Madam Speaker, we all know that Canadians are suffering from crime. Crime waves are up because of the Liberals' soft-on-crime laws. This is a problem we started seeing years ago. Every single day, when a shooting happens, people call us. This is a non-partisan issue. We need to provide safety to Canadians. The principle of restraint gives judges the opportunity to give bail under the least onerous…

Madam Speaker, I rise in the chamber today to address Bill C-14, an act to amend the Criminal Code, the Youth Criminal Justice Act and the National Defence Act. I will begin by saying what I have been hearing loud and clear from the people of Brampton and across Canada. Canadians are tired of living in fear in their own homes and neighbourhoods. After 10 years of the Liberal government, one thing …

Mr. Speaker, Stellantis got $15 billion in taxpayer money. That is over $1,000 from every Canadian household. What is the result? Three thousand Canadian workers are losing their jobs as production moves to the U.S. If that is Liberal job protection, Canadians should be alarmed. Will the Prime Minister tell us exactly how many Canadian jobs are guaranteed in that $15-billion deal, or did the Liber…

Mr. Speaker, today, I rise in the chamber to join families of Brampton West, millions of Canadians and billions around the world in celebrating Diwali, the festival of lights, and Bandi Chhor Divas. Though the traditions may differ with different cultures, their message is universal: hope, unity and renewal. At a time when many are struggling and the world feels heavy with pain, these celebrations…

Mr. Speaker, Liberal bail has caused a bloodbath of crime in communities across this country. Just last week, a man was stabbed on a bus in Brampton by a criminal out on bail. Over the last six months in power, the Prime Minister has kept Liberal Bill C-75 in place, causing more bloodshed. Conservatives have taken police and victims' advice to draft a bill that would scrap Liberal bail and bring p…

Mr. Speaker, I keep saying that we have to provide safety and should not be using excuses, whether it is the federal, provincial or municipal government. We need to work toward safety and to protect Canadians from violent criminals, who are creating problems in Canadians' lives every single day. These are the excuses that the Liberal government is making: that the Ontario government or any other p…

Mr. Speaker, we have to prioritize safety. We know violent offenders keep repeating crimes in our communities, societies and neighbourhoods. We have to ensure, every step of the way, that each Canadian has the right to live without fear and without having to face any sort of criminal situation. Auto thefts are increasing, violent crime is up, and house invasions are up. We have to protect Canadian…

Mr. Speaker, today I rise in the chamber to support Conservative Bill C-242, the jail not bail act. I will be sharing my time with my colleague, the member for Richmond Hill South. Canadians are tired of waking up to headlines that read like crime thrillers except that they are real and are happening in our neighbourhoods. In Brampton, families do not feel safe anymore. Crime is no longer the exce…

Mr. Speaker, Brampton residents are completely fearful. They are living their lives in fear, thinking there is no hope for them. Being their member of Parliament, I keep telling them that I will leave no stone unturned to bring safety to their communities. I am tirelessly working toward bringing in safety for Brampton residents.

Mr. Speaker, we all know that the government has not given us any concrete evidence or produced any bill that would help to protect Canadians from crime. The Liberals keep asking for my support. They need to know that first they have to present something to us which we can analyze. We know that we want to protect Canadians. We want to help them in their everyday lives, but members opposite keep as…

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister promised to fix the broken bail system, but he left for summer vacation without delivering, and he returns to Parliament still empty-handed. Let me share with members how bad the crime waves are in Brampton and across Canada: Violent crime is up 55%, gun crime is up 130%, hate crimes are up 258%, extortion is up 350%, and overdoses are tearing through our neighbourh…
