The government is go…

Mr. Speaker, the people of Mont-Saint-Bruno—L'Acadie often tell me how important it is to protect Canada in an increasingly dangerous world. From east to west, from the Arctic to Quebec, we have to deal with the global situation and create a strong Canada. Can the Minister of National Defence share with the House the investments that the new government is making in defence?

Madam Speaker, I agree with the comments from my colleague across the aisle. My colleague, the member for Winnipeg North, is indeed passionate about what he says. This is my first term, and I have noticed that. I am proud of his commitment to creating a strong Canada. He is driven by that passion. He speaks with ease, love and commitment. Can he explain how eliminating the GST for first-time homeb…

Madam Speaker, young people actually talked to me about the taxes that first-time homebuyers have to pay. During the election campaign, I told them we were going to get rid of the GST.

Madam Speaker, I have been meeting with my constituents on the ground for months now. Whether it was at our markets, in our schools or in our neighbourhoods, they had a lot to share with me. I remember Manon in particular, a mother who told me that she sometimes has to choose between paying her rent or stocking her fridge. Today, I am pleased and proud to rise in this honourable chamber to applaud…

Madam Speaker, when I talked about lowering the tax rate and eliminating the GST during the election campaign, as I did with the woman my colleague mentioned, I heard the same comments everywhere I went.

Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned earlier, I have four children. I am generally familiar with the needs of Canadians, having spent part of my formative years in the Congo and part here, in Canada. When we presented this measure during the campaign, as I knocked on doors in Mont-Saint-Bruno—L'Acadie, a lot of people told me it was important for Canadian families.

Mr. Speaker, I think that tax cuts should always be gradual and organized. Our government's decision to cut tax rates from 15% to 14% is a responsible one. As I said, this tax relief will ease the tax burden on Canadians in general by about $27 billion over the next five years. I think a gradual approach is important for the sake of all Canadians.

They have entrusted me with their voice and the responsibility to rai…

Mr. Speaker, earlier I talked about a major step forward for our country. I will say it again: Starting in 2026, half of all families will see annual savings of up to $840. The measure will affect nearly 22 million Canadians. We have made important decisions for the benefit of Canadians.
