Madam Speaker, knocking on doors and talking to a tremendous number of constituents throughout the campaign was intense, but there are a tremendous number of concerns and fears on the streets and in our neighbourhoods. It does not matter whether people are in rural Ontario or downtown Toronto. The numbers are a direct result of Bill C-5 and Bill C-75, Liberal laws that made it easier for violent o…

Mr. Speaker, there is nothing to get on board with. Unlike the government, Canadians actually have to budget their money in order to survive. They cannot tax and spend their way out of hunger. After their rent, mortgage and utilities, they are left with fewer dollars than ever to buy the food their families need, and those few dollars are not going as far as they used to. Canadians are at their wi…

Madam Speaker, I am standing here tonight in the House of Commons, the House of the common people, with great pleasure. It is the first time I will be delivering a substantive speech since re-election. I would first like to acknowledge my family. My family has been profound in getting me exactly where I am. There is so much work to be done, and without the family support that so many of us in this…

Mr. Speaker, for years the Liberals have promised families that they will lower the cost of groceries, telling Canadians that relief is coming soon, and for years they have failed families. The Prime Minister himself said that he will be judged by the price of groceries. The cost of everything, from beef to oranges, is up by over 25% since the beginning of this year alone. With an additional half …

Madam Chair, he does not know the number. Does the minister know how many victims of intimate partner violence there were in 2022?

Madam Speaker, the bottom line, hard stop, is that regardless of what community, what province or what territory we live in in Canada, parliamentarians on all sides of the House need to be strong voices, advocates and defenders of our democracy. We cannot tiptoe around the rights of criminals, and we really need to protect our victims. We need serious sentences for serious crimes. Victims need to …

Madam Speaker, I could talk for an hour or so on this particular question, but I will not. Very briefly, let us look back at the last 10 years of the Liberal record. It is 10 years of devastation, 10 years of inaction and 10 years of non-answers. Shall go on? The bottom line is that since the Liberals took office, there has been a 632% increase in U.S. border patrol encounters with people illegall…

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I am seeking unanimous consent for an emergency debate.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. As shadow minister of trade, Canada-U.S., I would like to acknowledge that earlier today the Speaker had ruled against an emergency debate on Canada-U.S. trade. I would just like to acknowledge that I am seeking an emergency debate and I am hoping that all parties will approve. Canada and the United States share one of the most successful and mutually benef…

Mr. Speaker, the government's dismissive rhetoric does not stand up to scrutiny. It promised to cap spending at 2%, but hours later increased it by 8%, with no fiscal anchor and no fiscal guardrails. We are in a fiscal free fall and working-class Canadians are paying the bill, including nearly $1,400 per household spent on the Prime Minister's corporate consultant cronies. It is insulting to Canad…

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister's first bill has shattered his spending promises. He was elected on a promise of financial transparency, accountability and responsibility, and only one month later, he has already torn down that facade, treating taxpayer dollars like some seedy, secretive corporate bank account instead of the purse strings of this nation. In what world can the Prime Minister justif…

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has lost control of spending and his cabinet. This week the Prime Minister's fake feminism was on spectacular display. He is smashing Canada through the $40-billion fiscal guardrail and pushing his female finance minister off the glass cliff to make way for carbon tax Carney. He did it with his justice minister, he did it with the Treasury Board president and now he…

Madam Speaker, the number of sexual assaults have increased. IPV, or intimate partner violence, has increased. For sextortion and rape, the numbers are outstandingly horrible. How can this member, after nine years, with numbers as horrible as they are, play into this procedural nonsense and the charades of the government? Canadians are catching on. Please speak to that.

Mr. Speaker, grief is an emotion I never truly understood until this year. Grief does not change us; it reveals us. We become someone it would have been impossible to be before. In this way, our loved one lives on in us. Everyone loves and everyone has loss. Grief is universal, a sacred process, yet it is so unique. We all cope differently. We do not get over the loss of a loved one but learn to c…

Madam Speaker, the member has suggested that this is going to help small business. He said he has talked to businesses and that it will genuinely impact small business. This irresponsible inflationary tax trick will not help small business. In fact, today, there was a message from a local business, and I neighbour this gentleman's riding, from Justin Martin from McCormick’s Country Store in Camden…

Mr. Speaker, one woman or girl is killed every single day in our country. That is inexcusable. We just heard the minister deliver a speech in the House praising her government's efforts to combat gender-based violence. I cannot believe that the minister would have the audacity to deliver this speech after all the things the Prime Minister has done to harm women and make life more dangerous for wom…

With regard to visitor visa applicants and assessments done by the government, including agencies such as the Canada Border Services Agency at border crossings: what are the criteria used to assess the admissibility of applicants, including the amount of funds that applicants must have, broken down by type of visa?

Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the NDP-Liberals, they are not worth the cost of homes and housing. The sad reality is that the government is focused on building deficits, not homes, and young Canadians are paying the price. Over half of Canadians under 35 say they want to own a home, and that same amount are saying the government's economic mismanagement is making that dream impossible. Common-s…

Madam Speaker, I would like to start by complimenting and applauding the member for his work. We served on the joint committee together, and I would like to thank him for his contributions. Indeed, medical assistance in dying is an extremely complex and personal issue. I am wondering whether the member would like to speak to the safeguards that could be in place to protect people on the basis on m…

Mr. Speaker, the Liberal-NDP carbon tax is fuelling an affordability crisis Canada has not seen in generations. According to Food Banks Canada, a shocking two million Canadians use a food bank in a month. To be clear, it is not just the unemployed or people with limited income who need to use a food bank; nearly one in five food bank users has a full-time work. This increase in usage is causing ha…

Mr. Speaker, I would first like to acknowledge and thank the witnesses that provided testimony for the vulnerability they showed. It is extraordinarily difficult. Most important is trust in our institutions, and that trust in our institutions is lacking. What more does it take to spur action? Stories, testimony and heartfelt trauma are being ignored. Government is sitting for three or four years. …

Mr. Speaker, I would like to share a quote: “Every day without that action is another day that the brave survivors...must find even more strength against a system that has failed to protect...and threatens to leave the next generation at risk of horrific abuse.” We have so much to celebrate with sport in Canada, but the voices of athletes are much too loud to be ignored. Action must be taken.

Mr. Speaker, the bottom line is that the government has failed athletes. Our victims need to be protected. If, at any point, either of my daughters were to home and share a concern, there would be zero tolerance, and we would move forward. The government needs to do the same.

Mr. Speaker, there was screaming, insulting, body shaming, ridiculing, isolating, humiliating, manipulating, controlling, comparing, berating, grooming and touching. Those who know me recognize I will often be the optimistic one in the room and focus on the good. In reference to sport and youth, I would love to be speaking on the benefits and life lessons acquired through sport, such as healthy co…

Madam Speaker, it is my pleasure to rise in the House this afternoon as the member of Parliament for Hastings—Lennox and Addington. In most offices on Parliament Hill, there is, perched upon a bookshelf, an unassuming little book, about an inch wide, and if a member or a staffer has been here for some time, it is likely collecting a fair amount of dust. Outside of a House leader's office, there is…

Madam Speaker, might I suggest that, through my lens, the Prime Minister is a feckless man who has lost the moral authority to govern? I truly feel we are on a path of abject failure with the Liberals continuing to flagrantly dismiss the people of Canada and the procedures of the House. To answer the member's question directly, the moment the Conservative leader chooses to take the briefing, he ca…

Madam Speaker, the most important values Canadians look for in someone who is serving them in the House of the common people, the House of Commons here in Ottawa, are trust, leadership and respect. Continually, when I speak with constituents, the common questions I hear are, first of all, “When is the next election?” but more importantly, “What is going on in Ottawa?” The basic principle of the Co…

Madam Speaker, it would be safe to say that the member of Parliament who posed the question would find interest in the speech. He and I have a lot of political history together, over the years, and I think it is easy for us to acknowledge that the cover-up of the $400-million slush fund scandal is clearly paralyzing Parliament. The Prime Minister of the day has certainly lost control. The House is…

Madam Speaker, I can confidently say the current Prime Minister has lost control. He is losing confidence, and he has clearly lost the plot. He is not listening to advice from his colleagues about resigning. Why would he not just call a carbon tax election?

Madam Speaker, it is a simple ask: end the cover-up and release the documents.

Madam Speaker, I find this quite rich coming from the member across the aisle. Nonetheless, as a collective, let us step back in time to when the Liberals promised Canadians an open, transparent government, “open by default”. Continually, however, we have scandal after scandal. I could list a few: SNC-Lavalin, ArriveCAN, WE Charity, McKinsey, blackface and the list goes on. They must end the cover…

Mr. Speaker, after nine years of NDP-Liberals, taxes are up, costs are up, crime is up and time is up. The Speaker ruled that the NDP-Liberals violated a House order regarding the criminal investigation into the latest $400-million scandal. The government's refusal to respect the Speaker's ruling has paralyzed Parliament. The Auditor General found that Liberal appointees at SDTC gave millions to L…

Mr. Speaker, while sunny days are over, everyone should be concerned when leading medical publications are raising the alarm bells about scurvy in Canada in 2024. The disease was an issue 400 years ago. The cost of the carbon tax on food pricing is real. Limited access to adequate food caused by the increase is real. Last, the negative effects on the health of Canadians are real. Will the governme…

Mr. Speaker, after nine years of NDP-Liberals, taxes are up, crime is up and costs are up. Time is up. The NDP-Liberal carbon tax is driving up the cost of food, adding to an already terrible food insecurity crisis. It has gotten so bad that doctors are being told to be on the lookout for scurvy. Not only are many Canadians gasping at their grocery bills in advance of Thanksgiving dinner, but also…

Madam Speaker, in my previous role, I had the great privilege of sitting on the national defence committee, and I dealt with a great many issues related to our Canadian Armed Forces, from housing to procurement, access to medical care and supports, recruitment retention and closing the commitment capability gap. I was honoured to get a near first-hand account of many of the issues the DND and the …

Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the NDP-Liberals, taxes are up, costs are up, crime is up and time is up. Canadians are now working harder and longer to bring home less, if they can afford a home at all. Their purchasing power is shot, and many live in fear of crime and chaos. Our country was built on the backs of the early risers, factory workers, soldiers, nurses, bakers, servers and night shif…
