Mr. Speaker, this is yet another Liberal budget that adds billions in inflationary spending while not growing our economy at all. Our health care system is crumbling, our immigration system is broken and the cost of living is impossible for so many Canadians. Today, young people are struggling to find work, and seniors cannot live off their pension. Does the member believe it is fair to punish our…

Mr. Speaker, for young people trying to build their life and start a family, the Liberals have erased the hope of ever owning their own home. What is their solution? It is more government, more bureaucracy and more of the same problems. The Prime Minister told young people they must suffer. My question for the member is this: Why did the Liberal government not listen to the Conservatives? We sugge…

Mr. Speaker, the Liberal budget proves that the Prime Minister is just the same, if not worse, than Justin Trudeau, adding more government bloat with another $321.7 billion to the federal debt over the next five years. How can Canadians trust anything the Liberal government is doing with their hard-earned tax dollars?

Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague and the Bloc for the support we received at committee. Immigrants are not to blame for wanting better lives; it is the Liberals' fault for breaking our system and allowing people into Canada too fast for housing, health care and jobs to keep up. Only Conservatives will restore the value of Canadian citizenship and the immigration consensus the Liberals brok…

Madam Speaker, Conservatives believe that Canadian citizenship matters. It is more than a designation on an ID card or a passport to travel the world; it is a shared responsibility that takes every single one of us to adhere to. There once was a time when being Canadian meant something. It is appropriate that we are entering Veterans' Week, a week when we remember our heroes who fought and died so…

Madam Speaker, a decade of the Liberals has harmed the reputation of Canadian citizenship, either because of the neglect and mismanagement of the Canadian immigration system or because of the policies that have weakened the value of Canadian citizenship. Canada is one of the only countries in the world that allows descendants of visitors and temporary residents born on Canada's soil to automatical…

Madam Speaker, I rise today to speak to Bill C-3, an act to amend the Citizenship Act. I will be splitting my time with the hon. member for Ponoka—Didsbury. Being a Canadian should mean something. Citizenship is not merely a passport or an identifier. It should mean pride, belonging and responsibility, but Bill C-3 risks turning Canadian citizenship into little more than a slogan and a check box, …

Madam Speaker, again, with over three million temporary residents and half a million undocumented persons now living in Canada, continuing to allow temporary residents' descendants to automatically claim citizenship will have a deep impact on Canada's immigration system, housing, jobs and—

Mr. Speaker, 10 years of Liberal policies aimed at killing our energy industry have shrunk our economy and driven up unemployment. The Prime Minister promised he would be different, but instead, it is more of the same. Alberta's energy industry has powered and enriched this nation for decades, but if the production cap stays, there will be no pipelines and Canada will remain at the mercy of U.S. a…

Mr. Speaker, after a decade of Liberal anti-energy policies that drive out investment and plunge business confidence down, even the Liberal House leader has admitted on TV that the government cannot get anything built, despite years of defending Trudeau's actions. Canadians want to see projects growing and energy flowing, but until destructive Liberal laws like Bill C-69 are gone, it is just more …

Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a deep sense of gratitude, humility and duty as the member of Parliament for Red Deer. As I take my seat in the hallowed House of Commons, I recognize that the seat belongs to the people of Red Deer. I will always take the responsibility of representing my community with the dignity and integrity that this seat commands. Elections are not won by one person alone. Wit…

Mr. Speaker, this week's throne speech confirms that Canadians are in for more of the same recklessness with the Liberal government. They promised to cap spending at 2%. They have broken their promise again, spending half a trillion dollars, almost 8% more than Justin Trudeau did. It is the same limitless spending and the same mistakes that got Canada into this mess. Canada cannot trust the Libera…
