Government Orders
Madam Speaker, I want to salute my colleague from Mégantic—L'Érable and thank him for his speech. Bill C‑19 is the first budget implementation bill introduced by the Minister of Finance, which would implement certain measures of the budget. This bill is more than 420 pages long and it extends far beyond the content of the budget. This bill talks about laws being enforced in space, in a galaxy not …

Madam Speaker, I would like to commend my colleague for his speech. The government is using Bill C-19 to implement a new tax on luxury items—

Madam Speaker, the member for Winnipeg North is clearly on fire today, as is often the case. Back to the question I would like to ask my colleague. Bill C-19 establishes a tax for luxury items such as luxury cars, luxury boats and aircraft. People are either for or against this idea. The Bloc Québécois agrees with it. However, during the pre-study in committee, the government and public service re…

Madam Speaker, the government is once again punishing our aerospace sector. It is proposing yet another tax on this sector through the luxury tax on private jets set out in its budget bill. The government wants companies to turn over 20% of their total sales and get reimbursed many months later if the aircraft ends up being exported. We are talking about making companies advance the government hal…

Madam Speaker, he unfortunately picked the wrong page. The luxury tax is supposed to be charged to the wealthy who are buying private jets, but that is not how the bill will work in practice. For example, mining companies that buy a plane to transport workers rent it out when they are not using it. That is how these things work. Now, they will have to pay the tax if, one out of 10 times it is rent…

Madam Speaker, we on this side of the House have enough faith in our nation that we do not need know-it-all Ottawa and its federal shield to guarantee that medicare remains public. We have faith that we can do it ourselves. From what I understand, and the member for Winnipeg North did the best job explaining this from the government's perspective, the other parties see the relationship between the…

Madam Speaker, I would remind the House that even if the bills are paid, dental care is part of the health care system and therefore a provincial jurisdiction. This is therefore not the place for that debate. We are all for people receiving dental care. It makes no sense that people cannot afford dental care or have to choose between oral health and food or rent because they do not have enough mon…

Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate my colleague and thank him for his substantive speech. I would also like to make a comment. I find it truly shocking to see the government's attitude as it imposes closure, limiting the powers of parliamentarians in the House, as its members rise to say that this is the right thing to do. We truly see that the government would like to exercise its power …

Madam Speaker, I too would like to congratulate my colleague on her bill. I hope it will get to committee as soon as possible. It is an excellent bill. I also want to thank her for her tribute to her colleague who was taken too soon. It was very moving and very much appreciated. The example she gave of the woman who had to hide was also very touching. Let us hope that this kind of thing never happ…

Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his speech and congratulate him. If we look at the budget and government bills such as Bill C-8, for example, it is clear that they want to centralize everything. It seems as though the government is far more interested in encroaching on someone else's territory than in properly managing its own files. With Bill C-8, we can see that Ottawa is s…

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague from Kitchener South-Hespeler. I completely agree with him. On the very week the IPCC released a report stating that there should not be any new oil projects, the former environmentalist who climbed the CN Tower announced that Canada is going to launch a new one-billion-barrel project. The next day, the government presented its budget. We were hoping that …

Mr. Speaker, we are facing multiple crises, both current and looming, so we expected this budget to put forward concrete solutions to address the risks associated with these crises. First is the public health crisis. After living with the pandemic for over two years, we are now entering yet another wave. Next is the inflation crisis. For months now, inflation has been higher than expected. That se…

Mr. Speaker, there is a lot to be said about the budget; my colleagues will say more when we resume debate. Unfortunately, I have to call out the government's tradition of systematically presenting the budget just before a parliamentary break. It prefers to tour around selling its version of the facts than to face the criticism of every elected member and every legislator in the House, and I stron…

Mr. Speaker, Canada is short 1.8 million housing units. The government's plan is to provide 100,000 more units. It is true that we need to build more housing units, but saying so and doing so are two different things. I also want to raise the issue of social housing. Even though the budget does mention it indirectly, the government chose to use the expression “affordable housing”. That is not at a…

Mr. Speaker, in this subamendment, the Bloc Québécois is essentially proposing the expectations it had for the budget, which it had previously expressed to the Minister of Finance and at the Standing Committee on Finance.
