Mr. Speaker, last year, we worked with the Prime Minister to get things moving again after a decade of Liberal roadblocks. We helped fast-track Bill C-5, giving him incredible powers to approve major projects that would make Canada richer and more secure. However, no new projects have been approved. If someone goes to the Major Projects Office website, it is pathetic. In Saskatchewan, only the For…

Mr. Speaker, the Canadian taxpayer is spending hundreds of millions of dollars on the European Space Agency. Canadians could be expected to wonder why so much of their money is being spent on the European Space Agency and its private corporation, Harwell, but do not worry, we know the answer, which is that 50% of the Harwell Science and Innovation facility is owned by Brookfield. That explains it.…

Mr. Speaker, hard-working Canadians spend all day at work, and on the way home, they are not stopping in a grocery stores. They are stopping in food banks. For millions of working Canadians, they have to go to food banks because they cannot afford the hidden Liberal food taxes, such as the industrial carbon tax and the food packaging tax. Food Banks Canada reports a record smashing 2.2 million vis…

Mr. Speaker, it is frustrating to hear these words out of this member. We know that there are 86,000 people out of work. There are now four million visits to the food bank, and one in four people in Toronto rely on the food bank for food. The Liberals are talking about these major projects that are going to get fast-tracked. A major project near this member's riding in Darlington is the GE Hitachi…

Mr. Speaker, through you to my hon. colleague, there is a disconnect. Canadians are not buying it. Tonight, unfortunately, someone is going to tuck in their loved ones for the last time, because of what is going on in our streets. If we believe what the member is saying, that crime is down for the people in his province, for those who are watching the evening news, it is hoped that something horri…

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister and his anti-energy ministers say there are no pipelines in Canada without consensus, but there is not even consensus in the Prime Minister's cabinet. The Prime Minister has stacked that cabinet with ministers who want to kill the Canadian oil and gas industry, but there is not even consensus in the Prime Minister's own head. He said he wanted to make Canada an ener…

Mr. Speaker, they are the same old Liberals. Our allies, like Germany, are desperately needing energy. Canada has the energy but, due to 10 years of anti-energy policies from the Liberals, we have blocked all pipelines in Canada and we cannot sell to Germany. The German ambassador says that they will now need to import LNG from America. The Prime Minister is selling out our country by sending our …

Mr. Speaker, after nine years, the Liberal government has unleashed crime and chaos from coast to coast to coast. Nationwide, violent crime has skyrocketed by 50% since the Prime Minister took office, while violent gun crime has increased by 116%, and they are using weapons that were smuggled over our insecure border. Let us look at the numbers closer to home. In Saskatoon, crime has absolutely ex…

Mr. Speaker, research and innovation are key to Canada's future, yet the disastrous government has caused runaway inflation, unaffordable homes and an explosive deficit, which are hurting the students and teachers we need to do this crucial work. That is not all. The Liberals have looked the other way while anti-Semitism has escalated on campus, and the government's tri-councils have funded studie…

Madam Speaker, new data has been released and it is bad. Canadians' economy is on life support. It is so bad that Stats Canada just reported our economy is collapsing. GDP per capita has declined for six consecutive quarters. The United States is eating our lunch. The U.S. economy in the last quarter increased by 2.8%; in Canada, 0.3%; not 3%, but 0.3%. Canadians are going broke and the Prime Mini…

Madam Speaker, new damning data has been released confirming the results of nine years of economic vandalism by the NDP-Liberal government. We saw the worst decline in living standards in 40 years. Consumer debt has hit an all-time record high and today we learned that GDP per capita fell again for the sixth straight month. Americans are threatening a 25% tariff and the Prime Minister does not hav…

Madam Speaker, it is incredibly dangerous to be right when one's government is so wrong. The NDP-Liberal government is wrong, and it is ignoring Canadians. It is ignoring the science, common sense, the cost of living crisis it created and the courts, when it tries to ban plastics. The NDP-Liberal government hates the facts on plastics. If Canadians are suffering now with skyrocketing bills, wait u…

Mr. Speaker, love it or list it. When the Prime Minister's old media buddy, Tom Clark, got to New York, he was disgusted with the 2,700-square-foot, cramped penthouse condo on Park Avenue with only 12 rooms and five bedrooms. Tom took one look at the dump and called his friend, the Prime Minister, and demanded that this property be listed. What is on Tom Clark's must-have list for his New York pen…

Madam Speaker, on the question on SMRs, the GE Hitachi reactor being developed at Darlington is the very first of its kind. We do not know what the price is actually going to be on that SMR, just as when we have innovations and we try a new model of something. The story she recapped, that NuScale SMRs were actually leading the campaign to bring a grid-scale reactor online, is accurate. I would not…

Madam Speaker, those watching this debate today should be thanking a nuclear worker. We thank the nuclear workers for keeping the lights on. Nuclear energy is the one technology that we have that has proven to have zero emissions, and it is low in cost and reliable. It is because of the workers, the men and women who work in nuclear, that this is possible. I thank them from the bottom of my heart.…

Mr. Speaker, we heard some nice words from the Liberals today about nuclear energy, which nuclear workers are used to. It is a lot of lip service but very little support. That is historical. It goes back decades and decades. The Liberals say one thing to one group and then something different to another group. I am encouraged by the member's new and profound love of nuclear energy. I know the nucl…

Madam Speaker, what does my hon. colleague make of the shortage right now of medical isotopes? Last year, there were some critical shortages that unfortunately may have cost lives in Canada, and we are very grateful for Chalk River. Some of the developments of utilizing the CANDU reactor to make medical isotopes would not have been possible without Chalk River, so I thank the men and women who wor…

Madam Speaker, that is a lot of hot air coming from that politician. There are no words to describe the hypocrisy of this. We have a Prime Minister who jet-sets all over the world, not worrying about the carbon he is emitting, and then lectures us to turn down the heat, to not drive our car and to be better for the planet. His boss is jet-setting everywhere and anywhere he wants to go. The carbon …

Madam Speaker, the Algonquins supported it from day one, so his facts are wrong. As for the process, we welcome feedback. Most government programs should be run this way. It does not mean someone will get their way, but they will get a say. Encouraging dialogue has taken place with indigenous groups, suppliers and local communities that want this technology and want nuclear in their community.

Mr. Speaker, it is hard for Canadians to keep track of all the Liberal scandals. Every week, they add new ones. This is a scandal that would define any other government in the history of Canada. I am talking about the mysterious “Randy”, who the government claims is not the same person as the Minister of Employment and the former associate minister of finance. They might be saying, “These aren't t…

Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to ask my hon. colleague a question. I was going through some of the documents on the bill. For the most part, Conservatives know that there is a need to fix our porous border. There are way too many illegal firearms coming in, mostly from Michigan, but there are issues across the country. We support any measures that make our border that much more secure. It is very t…

Madam Speaker, through you, to the members in the chamber, the disrespect that the NDP caucus shows for this place is most stunning. It is most stunning that you will not look at the facts that have been laid out. There are over six violations, and the proposal is just to let it go and to say it is the party. There are a lot of things we put our names to in here. As many members have pointed out, …

Madam Speaker, that was back when the NDP was a true party. It was a socialist party. I do not agree with the New Democrats' thinking, but I knew where they came from. Now they have devolved into a power-hungry, fart-catching party of the Prime Minister. It is embarrassing to see, in questions from the New Democratic Party, that it has stooped so low.

Mr. Speaker, after nine years, something is rotten in the state of Canada, more specifically in Ottawa, and we all can smell it. That is why there is a public inquiry regarding foreign interference in the first place. However, the government is once again trying to cover it up, redacting documents that it has already promised to send to the commission. Today, I speak for all Canadians when I say w…

Well, the cover-up coalition continues, Mr. Speaker. Trust is one of the most precious things, and after nine years of the NDP-Liberal government, Canadians have learned exactly how much they can trust Liberal promises.

It is unbelievable the mental gymnastics one has to do to figure out the current NDP-Liberal government. We have a member who stated that, right now, in 2024, it is the best historic time ever. Do members believe that? The people watching at home should ask themselves if they are better off to…

Mr. Speaker, I think those are all terrible things that the government is going to be known for. I think it is the debt, though. One cannot pile on more debt than every other prime minister combined.

That is the legacy of the g…
