Mr. Speaker, carbon tax Carney is the Prime Minister's top economic adviser, and he is moving his trillion-dollar international investment firm out of Canada and to another country. Carbon tax Carney will now be advising the Liberal Prime Minister from Wall Street. These two economic vandals have quadrupled the carbon tax on Canadians, while carbon tax Carney is jet-setting off to New York City. I…

Mr. Speaker, on the same point of order, not only is that absolutely false, but also, number one, I have never threatened anyone with violence in this place, and number two, in this instance, the member for Glengarry—Prescott—Russell made a homophobic comment in the House mere minutes ago. I encouraged him, in raising my hands, to stand up and make the same comment again. Now, should NDP members b…

Mr. Speaker, there is only one guy left keeping the Prime Minister in power. That is the leader of the NDP, the stuntman who scammed voters right before a by-election. Do members remember his big stunt when he told Canadians he ripped up his coalition deal with the Liberals? In fact, he said, “the Liberals are too weak, too selfish and too beholden to corporate interests to fight for people”. The …

Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the NDP-Liberals, the cost of housing has doubled, our national debt has doubled and Canadians cannot afford to feed themselves or their families. Now we have learned there are 24 Liberal MPs who are looking for the Prime Minister to resign. After nine years of the NDP-Liberals, taxes are up, costs are up, crime is up and time is up for the Prime Minister, who cann…

Mr. Speaker, did you hear that? It is the sound of desperation from a government that has broken absolutely everything in this country. It broke housing and it broke immigration. Canadians cannot afford to eat, heat or house themselves after nine years of the failed NDP-Liberals. All Canadians want is to be able to afford a home and to be able to have a home in a good, safe neighbourhood, where th…

Mr. Speaker, during question period, while the leader of His Majesty's loyal opposition was posing a question to the Prime Minister, the member for Edmonton Griesbach used decidedly unparliamentary language.

Mr. Speaker, after nine years, the NDP-Liberal government is not worth the cost or the corruption. Today, the Auditor General confirmed a full investigation into the Liberal government deals awarded to arrive scam contractor GC Strategies.

Madam Speaker, carbon tax Carney and the heat pump hustle have come to town.

Madam Speaker, you previously indicated that there is no limit on the scope of that. Your previous ruling was that a member not be interrupted during their question of privilege.

Madam Speaker, let us just zero in on that for a second. We of course have said that the briefing is a muzzle attempt by the Liberals, and that is exactly what the parliamentary secretary said. However, what he has also said is that people who reveal secret intelligence should go to jail. Well, they should come out with their hands up. It was reported in The Globe and Mail today that “federal offi…

Mr. Speaker, I can assure the member opposite that Canadians take it personally when, every time the Liberals given the opportunity, they do not help out Canadians but instead help out well-connected Liberal insiders, such as Mark Carney with his heat pump hustle.

Mr. Speaker, in another conflict of interest involving the Liberal government's de facto finance minister, we have found out that he has been caught using his access to lobby governments to benefit himself and his company. It is carbon tax Carney's heat pump hustle. He is claiming it is green policy, but his only policy is to line his pockets with green, and the Prime Minister is shielding him fro…

Mr. Speaker, not only did I read the report, but I was able to make it past the first page, all the way to page 18 of the PBO's report, that shows the true cost of the carbon tax for Ontario families is that it is going to be $1,400 more than they are getting back in their phony rebates. Statistics Canada today revealed the full effect of the economic vandalism. All of these high taxes and economi…

Mr. Speaker, we have breaking news, and it comes from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. It deals, of course with the latest, $400-million, scandal facing the Liberal government.

It also confirms that is has and is using the documents that have so far been turned over by…

Mr. Speaker, I have great news, which is that the current parliamentary law clerk has affirmed for Canadians that Parliament continues to have the unfettered right to send for persons and papers.

Mr. Speaker, we know the Liberals love to speak out of both sides of their mouth, so let me share with Canadians an article from The Globe and Mail, which the Liberals have called fake news in the past, while the Prime Minister has run down the honest reporting of his record.

Mr. Speaker, with arguments like that, it is a real shame that I do not have the opportunity to run against a Bloc Québécois member in my community, because I think Canadians would find that pretty flimsy.

Mr. Speaker, it is a great question from the hon. member for Cariboo—Prince George, and it is great to see him. He raises a great point. It is hypocrisy from the Liberals.

Mr. Speaker, Parliament's budget watchdog has confirmed yet again that Canadians pay more in carbon tax than they get back in so-called rebates. In Ontario, for example, a family will pay $1,400 more than they get back, but they already knew that because everything costs more after nine years of these NDP-Liberals. Taxes are up, costs are up, crime is up and time is up for the economic vandalism t…

Mr. Speaker, this is a case of $400 million and 186 conflicts of interest that are benefiting Liberal insiders, lining their pockets while Canadians are lined up at food banks.
