Madam Chair, is it fair, according to the minister, that bankers and bondholders are getting more money than what goes to the provinces for health care transfers? Is that compassionate, according to the minister?

Madam Chair, the Parliamentary Budget Officer is projecting that in year 2029-2030, the debt servicing costs will be $70 billion. Last year, the debt servicing was more than what goes to health care transfers to the provinces. Can the minister confirm whether, at $70 billion, that will be more, or less, than what gets transferred to the provinces in health care transfers?

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my great colleague, who is a great pancake-flipper when he helps out at my Stampede breakfast every single year. Not only his daughter but his granddaughter lives in my riding. I will answer his question in a different way, with my own personal experience. I came from small business. We were home builders before this. We were building homes at a time when there was a c…

Mr. Speaker, these are the same Liberal ego and hypocrisy. Canadians sent me to this House; my constituents sent me to this House, and I will continue to be their voice.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague and congratulate him on coming back to the House. There are a number of things that can be done. We can get rid of the industrial carbon tax. The Liberal government can stop attacking our farmers, so that we can bring down the cost of what it costs to farm in this country. We need to increase competition, and we are only going to do that if we get rid of the …

Mr. Speaker, that guy should apologize for collecting carbon tax for the last 10 years. Now the OECD says Canada will be hit the hardest in a looming global slowdown as investment fees, unemployment and core inflation climb. The Prime Minister already broke his promise of capping spending at 2%. Instead, he will spend 8% and half a trillion dollars in inflationary spending. Why do the Liberals not…

Mr. Speaker, the government's budgetary watchdog is sounding the alarm bells that interest on the federal debt will soar past $70 billion in four years. Debt interest payments already exceed provincial health care transfers, military spending or total GST revenue. However, the Prime Minister wants to spend even more money than Justin Trudeau did without tabling a budget. Canadians want to know, on…
