Madam Speaker, on a point of order, I wonder if the member opposite would table some empirical data to substantiate his comments.

Madam Speaker, food security in the U.K. focuses on ensuring food supply sources at home and abroad. To the Dutch, food security means promoting agricultural growth by increasing productivity and improving market access for producers. In the United States, food security is having enough access to food for every person in a household to live an active, healthy life. In Canada, there has been an 82%…

Madam Speaker, after eight years, this tired NDP-Liberal government has become increasingly desperate. The Prime Minister has come to resemble one of those wacky, waving, inflatable tube guys outside car dealerships. His hands flail about as the political winds push him around randomly. Year after year, the Prime Minister has claimed that if he did not punish low-income Canadians with higher energ…

Madam Speaker, none of my YouTube videos were taken down. That is more misinformation from the Liberals. After eight years, Canadians know the truth. Higher prices are the official government policy for the NDP-Liberal government. The goal of the carbon tax is to make energy unaffordable. The environment minister says they have to make energy more expensive so they can reach net zero by 2050. It i…

Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives put forth several amendments, two of which were rejected. One would have required the minister to conduct a national review by changing “may” to “shall” to ensure a review is triggered whenever the review threshold is met. The other would have made the act retroactive. How does the minister expect the government to ensure our national security is in place if we canno…

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Last week, you reminded us that we were not to use any nicknames for different parties. I take exception to being called a “corporate-controlled Conservative”. No one controls me.

Mr. Speaker, the leader of the fourth party mentioned the big-lobby Liberals and how they were involved in greed. I would like to remind the leader of the fourth party that his partner, the Prime Minister, is the one who spent time at the cottage of Galen Weston. Given the shambles, incompetence and corruption that we have in the federal Liberal government, there is a possibility that the New Demo…

Mr. Speaker, after eight years, the NDP-Liberal government is getting desperate. Last week, the Prime Minister announced his plan to push the pause button on his unaffordable carbon tax, but for only 3% of Canadians. Over the weekend, a Liberal minister went on TV and said that Canadians who do not vote Liberal will be punished with higher taxes. What about the Liberal MP from North Bay and the mi…

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister once said that a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian. After eight long years, now he says some Canadians are more equal than other Canadians. The NDP-Liberal government is so desperate to cling on to power it will pay any price. The Prime Minister is not worth the cost of national unity. Will the Liberals introduce legislation today, listening to the Leader of the …

Mr. Speaker, after eight long years, the NDP-Liberal government is so arrogant that it does not even try to hide its corruption. The minister from Long Range Mountains openly admitted that Canadians who do not vote for Liberals will be punished with higher taxes. She insulted Canadians and gave a slap in the face to her coalition partners. What about the NDP MP for Timmins—James Bay? Can the minis…

Mr. Speaker, after eight years of failure, the Prime Minister must be really proud of himself. His NDP-Liberal government's food security policy, food banks, is working so well visits to food banks are up 32% from March 2022, a 78% increase for the same month in 2019, and winter is coming. Canadians are bearing the brunt of years of his blowing the bank and fuelling inflation. How does this out-of…

Mr. Speaker, after eight years of failure, Canadians are paying the price for Liberal waste and corruption. The socialist coalition is not taking Canada's housing crisis seriously. Under the NDP-Liberal government, seniors are being forced from their homes. They cannot afford the mortgage payments. Canadians cannot afford their mortgages because interest rates have soared. The Prime Minister bragg…

Mr. Speaker, I did mention trade in the last minute of my speech. In fact, I think I mentioned it twice. During the time of Stephen Harper, our military was the best equipped it had been since the conflict in World War II. We got Globemasters. We got Chinooks. We got LAVs. We got other planes. We finally got our TAPVs. All those were initiated then. We also got the national shipbuilding strategy. …

Mr. Speaker, Ukraine is under an existential threat. If Ukraine does not defend itself and then does not exist, we will not have the basis for a free trade agreement because there would be no Ukraine. We have to do first things first and make sure it has what it needs to defend itself. We have to send good equipment and good ammunition, not junk to empty out our old garages. It is a good thing peo…

Mr. Speaker, if given the chance, trade with Ukraine will strengthen itself and perhaps prevent another invasion by Russia or another entity. The real problem here is the Communists who run China. This Ukraine-Russia conflict is a wonderful and welcomed distraction for China. Our overarching concern is making sure that Canada is well defended and the world is well defended against greater aggresso…

Mr. Speaker, during the leadership of Prime Minister Harper, more money was spent on defence than there had been since the decade of darkness. The country is stronger and envied by many because of what we have in our professional military and the women and men who make Canada look good on the world stage.

Mr. Speaker, the day the online streaming censorship act was introduced, I was free to produce a livestream video on Facebook warning Canadians about this threat to freedom of speech. The Internet gave each citizen the freedom, power and will to become a newscaster, podcaster or independent digital creator.

Madam Speaker, the parliamentary secretary is living in denial, but Canadians know the truth. It is the Liberals who have been in power for the last eight years. Liberal policies are driving up prices and Liberal spending is fuelling inflation, yet the Liberals still try to gaslight Canadians.

Madam Speaker, I send my congratulations to our colleague across the way for his promotion. In light of the government's record of being crime rate deniers, it is a relief to see it reversing one of the many measures implemented in Bill C-75, but I was particularly interested in the aspect of firearms making the potential for bail even more unlikely. Specifically, on October 31 of this year, tens …

Madam Speaker, in June I asked the Prime Minister if he understood the connection between the cost of energy and the price of food. In response, the Minister of Agriculture bragged about how hard the government was working to spread manure.

Madam Speaker, the cost of fuel impacts the cost of everything. In fact, it takes fuel to manufacture fertilizer. Then they have to use energy to force the fertilizer, spread it across and ship it to the different farmers. Then it costs money to spread the fertilizer. It costs energy that comes from people's money to plant the crops. It takes energy to harvest the crops, ship the crops to the proc…

In my riding, we have close to 60,000 people without a family doctor and a problem we have never had before, which is homelessness.

Madam Speaker, I do not know how I am supposed to put a circle around the Bloc, but suffice it to say that we are not in agreement with the separatists on what they want to do by taxing and making fossil fuels more unaffordable when that is what is driving people to poverty and making them unable to pay for food. Our people are going hungry specifically because the Liberals are decreasing the avai…

Madam Speaker, this is not about a power imbalance but the refusal of the legacy media to innovate.

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has a plan to increase prices even more. Higher prices are official Liberal policy. Their out-of-control spending is fuelling inflation.

Banning hunting rifles was never debated in Parliament. …
