Mr. Speaker, if someone believes that answer, I have an oceanfront property I will sell them in Alberta. Everyone knows that when the government charges higher fuel and carbon taxes on fertilizer, fuel and equipment for farmers, food processors and truckers, it drives up the cost of food. It is going to get worse as long as the Liberals keep on hiking these taxes. Canada now has the highest food p…

Mr. Speaker, we cannot control what is happening abroad, but we can fix things here at home. The majority of Canadians now report that they are worse off today than when the Prime Minister took office, and they are right. Under his leadership, Canada now has the worst food price inflation and the only shrinking economy in the G7. The Liberal Prime Minister was warned that imposing his industrial c…

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister promised us affordable groceries, but he has given us the highest food inflation in the G7. He promised to spend less, yet the deficit is now double and Canadians are now paying more in interest than for health care. He promised homes people could afford, but the prices have never been worse. RBC is now reporting that it is the hardest on young Canadians, who say at…

Mr. Speaker, just listen to the minister and his high-flying friends. They think everything is great, but we know that inflation is good news for the wealthy and for the bankers. I can tell them that young Canadians are being the hardest hit by this inflation. TransUnion is reporting that Canadians have now taken on a record-breaking $2.6 trillion in household debt. This debt is attached to mortga…

Mr. Speaker, as it is customary in the House that every Thursday we ask the question as to what the government has planned for next week, I will ask that, with the understanding that next week members of Parliament will be returning to their homes to meet with their constituents. We have a break week. During question period today, we had an admission from the agriculture minister, an embarrassing …

Mr. Speaker, I am wondering if the Liberals have decided to allow for Bill C-14 to pass. We have, on 17 occasions over the last number of hours, asked for the Liberals to expedite Bill C-14 and to allow for consideration of the bill. The Liberals continue to obstruct this bill, putting forward limitations on religious freedom in Bill C-9. Conservatives will continue to oppose those measures but wo…

Mr. Speaker, before the Prime Minister was elected, he said that half of all oil reserves should stay in the ground, but two weeks ago, when signing an MOU in the province of Alberta, he said that he is now supportive of a proposal to build an oil pipeline between Alberta and a northern British Columbia port. Now that he has returned to Ottawa, he is telling his “keep it in the ground” caucus not …

Madam Speaker, my friend articulated the Prime Minister's failure to get a deal with the Americans. Obviously, the Prime Minister made a promise to get a trade deal with the Americans by July. He has failed to do that. He has done a whole bunch of things to try to now get that deal, but he continues to fail after having promised Canadians he would get it done. When it comes to the media, one of th…

Madam Speaker, the hon. member said, “Prove it.” He is heckling. I can tell him to look at the Stellantis contract. Was there a protection for Canadians as the Liberals dished out billions of dollars to their corporate friends? Absolutely not. Look at the Algoma deal. There were 1,000 layoffs this past week, and hundreds of millions of dollars handed over to the company with no guarantee for the 1…

Madam Speaker, today I rise in the House of Commons to speak in opposition to Bill C-15, not because it is a Liberal budget bill but because it is a betrayal bill. The 634-page monster that the Liberals are trying to ram through in unprecedented fashion is hiding some of the most dangerous powers imaginable, powers that would let Liberal ministers pick winners and losers and exempt their corporate…

Madam Speaker, when the Liberals send in the member for Winnipeg North to yell, scream and claim he is hard done by, that is when we know we are hovering over the target. I have met with families that can no longer afford to pay for the essentials. Heartbreakingly, it is a larger number than ever, and the hon. member will know these same stories. I can say that what families also see is a free pas…

Madam Speaker, my colleague points out, exactly, the hypocrisy of the party that claims to believe in transparency. I remember a time when the members talked about sunlight being the best disinfectant, yet what we are seeing is a government clouded by more secrecy than we have ever seen with any government before. They are not trying to rectify this as they are being called out for being secretive…

Mr. Speaker, last Friday night the sirens sounded as firefighters and other first responders raced to the iconic Grand Prairie farmers' market in the heart of our city. Thankfully the market was closed for the day and no one was injured, but the flames rendered the building unusable. This tragedy has come at the worst possible time. In the lead-up to Christmas, locals depend on the market for baki…

Mr. Speaker, over the last number of weeks, we have witnessed countless job losses announced in regions across this country.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The hon. member called on me to stand in the House and call for unanimous consent to pass all stages of a bill that would fix the bail system in this country, the Liberal bail system that has been broken by the caucus across the way. I ask for unanimous consent to pass, at all stages, Bill—

Mr. Speaker, it is time for the Thursday question, when we ask for the government's agenda for the upcoming week. During the election, the Prime Minister made a lot of promises. He said that he was going to fix Liberal bail. Specifically, he was going to fix the mess that Justin Trudeau, as well as the vast majority of the Liberals, created by passing Bill C-5 and Bill C-75. Would the House leader…

Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, we noticed that the hon. member for Honoré-Mercier was out of his chair for a significant duration of the time that the vote was being counted. He was speaking with the leader of the Green Party. I just want to confirm if he intended to vote in the House or if he did it by app, because as I think the House wants to remember, a member cannot leave their seat in the…

Mr. Speaker, what if I said the government had a plan to increase the cost of vehicles by over $20,000 and kill 40,000 high-paying Canadian jobs? Well, that is exactly what the Liberals are doing with their mandate to eliminate gas-powered vehicles, which starts to take effect next year. Workers and families across Canada, especially in rural and northern communities, cannot afford this dangerous …

Mr. Speaker, that is completely ridiculous, because a report out today projects 50,000 job losses in the auto sector because of trade uncertainty. Rather than providing the auto sector with any kind of certainty, the Liberals are doubling down on their risky and dangerous EV mandate. Ford and GM are pleading with the government to end the insanity. Industry projects that the Liberal ban on the gas…
