Mr. Speaker, this government says that it supports women's equality and reconciliation, but its actions show anything but. This Prime Minister was very quick to fire the first female indigenous minister of justice because she was not willing to lie for him, yet it took him weeks to fire a minister of employment, a white male, who faked his indigenous identity. Why was it so easy to fire one but no…

Mr. Speaker, this is not real reconciliation. It took weeks for this Prime Minister to fire the minister of employment, or to allow him to resign. Real reconciliation, according to the former minister of justice, would have been to fire that minister of employment immediately. She says that she is left to “watch white people play ancestry wheel of fortune.” She says that it is “shameful” and it is…

Madam Speaker, what is funny is that the worse the scandal, the more quietly the government House leader speaks. After nine years, there is another scam in the arrive scam scandal. There are three new cases of fraudulent billing that have been sent to the RCMP. This is now a total of seven cases of fraudulent billing that have been sent to the RCMP. Canadian taxpayers have been scammed a total of …

Madam Speaker, after nine years, this NDP Liberal government is not worth the cost. The Minister of Environment invested $275 million in a company that he owns. The government continues to hide the documents. The green fund continues to paralyze the House. When will we receive the documents?

Mr. Speaker, Tom Clark lied to committee, saying that he did not know about the purchase of a $9-million condo. The Minister of Foreign Affairs also said that she did not know about the purchase of a $9-million condo. She also said that she did not know that a Canadian warship was next to Russian warships in the port of Havana and that she did not know that a senior global affairs official attende…

Mr. Speaker, last month, over 10 million Cubans spent nearly a week without light after their communist regime plunged them into darkness. Cubans took to the streets to protest the repressive government responsible for the hardships they continue to endure, but it is clear that they need the international community to speak up in support. Canada used to be a voice that Cuban dissidents could rely …

Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the NDP-Liberals, taxes are up, costs are up, crime is up and time is up. Canadians are struggling to meet their basic needs, and the government has decided the only solution is to tax Canadians more. The new capital gains tax will add a 30% tax increase on food producers at a time when the cost of food has already skyrocketed. The last thing Canadian families need…

Mr. Speaker, the Liberals certainly gave their uber-rich friends enough time to move their money and are about to give their best friend, carbon tax Carney, $10 billion. Not only will this new capital gains tax increase financial stress, but it will prevent families from transferring wealth to the next generation. The Canadian dream is to build a foundation that one can pass on to one's children. …

Madam Speaker, I believe the NDP member when she says that the survivors feel that the bill was not thought through well enough, because nothing that has been done by the government has been thought through well enough, or it has been thought through well enough with the bad intention of covering up, which is what we saw in the status of women committee. I stand with the NDP member in her concern …

Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. Right now, the Canadian Armed Forces are in bad shape, but I think that our leader and our party will make them a priority. We will give our armed forces the funding necessary to do their job. Respecting our friends around the world will create a better armed forces from which all Canadians will benefit.

Madam Speaker, the numbers speak for themselves: $1.2 billion in defence spending alone. The minister is trying to stand up to defend helping Russia export oil and natural resources, relative to Ukraine, to help stand against our allies. The turbine is what I am talking about. The government is making efforts not to help our ally Israel, not sending equipment that would actually help our allies. I…

Mr. Speaker, the Liberal-NDP government is not worth the cost or the corruption. Thanks to the leader of the NDP, Canadians have been forced to endure one more year of this cover-up coalition avoiding accountability. From the $60-million arrive scam app to the $200 million spent on McKinsey and the $1-billion green slush fund, the NDP and its leader have been there to cover up for the Liberals at …

Madam Speaker, it is very sad that the government continues to point to failed programs. I have said time and time again that the government takes so much from Canadians and gives back little crumbs with the hope of keeping Canadians dependent. The capital gains tax is just another example of that. If the government had its way, Canadians would be dependent on it forever. Conservatives believe in …

Madam Speaker, I am not going to talk about the monarchy, but I am going to talk about common sense. A Conservative government will have something for all Canadians, including Quebeckers. Common sense does not just apply to the budget or to just one province. It applies to all of the provinces, including Quebec. Common sense is for all Canadians.

Madam Speaker, it is the evening when we vote on the estimates, and they are estimates, in fact, because we really never know how much the government is going to spend, so we really can only estimate. Today proves to be no different. This is the result of two things. First, there is the complete out-of-control spending by the Liberal government. We have seen it since 2015, but it has increased rap…

Madam Speaker, what could Canadians not use this $46 billion for? They could use it to put groceries on the table, to put gas in their vehicles and to keep their homes warm. They could use it to buy homes if there were a better supply of habitations in this country at this time. I think the point my wonderful colleague from Edmonton West is making is that the government has unnecessarily spent not…

Madam Speaker, this is a Conservative caucus, an opposition and a government in waiting that supports democracies around the world. I was very proud to testify in front of the member at the procedure and House affairs committee today, where her government, frankly, once again let parliamentarians from all parties down by not reporting the cyber-attack. My point is that Conservatives support democr…

Mr. Speaker, the Auditor General report proves the Prime Minister is not worth the cost or the corruption. The NDP-Liberal government spent $200 million on McKinsey, which is just another example of the Prime Minister favouring his insider friends. The AG stated this showed a flagrant disregard for procurement rules, as the government sole-sourced with no justification, and competitive processes w…

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is not worth the cost or corruption. Dominic Barton, the former global head of McKinsey, was hand-picked by the PM to be the Canadian ambassador to China and the chair of the advisory council on economic growth. Therefore, it is no surprise that, after 2016, McKinsey contracting began to go up and up, with few signs of stopping. He even joined a meeting between McKi…

Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Employment has been throwing stones at glass houses for too long. We learned last week that the minister has failed to remove himself from his own PPE company and lobbyist firm, which is a clear conflict of interest. He remains a director of his PPE company in contravention of the code of ethics. The minister's previous lobby firm, which he gifted to his friend and col…

Mr. Speaker, this is so disappointing, but it is what we have come to expect from the government, which is to try not to take responsibility. This is how we got into this situation. This is how I got into the situation of being a target of a foreign government; it was as a result of the government's inability to accept responsibility. As I said, this is what it does all the time. It says that thes…

Mr. Speaker, the government can indeed give the excuse that the same thing happens in other countries. During question period in the House, it keeps telling us that this is happening in other countries, but the fact is that I was targeted here in this country. The Canadian government needs to do something about our nation, our sovereignty and our democracy.

Mr. Speaker, yesterday Kristian Firth of GC Strategies confirmed his home was raided by the RCMP.

Mr. Speaker, I will tell the member what is inappropriate. The ArriveCAN app is under RCMP investigation, but we now know that there are two RCMP investigations connected to GC Strategies. The raid on Kristian Firth's house two days ago raises more concerns about both contracts, one of which we now know has a connection to the Deputy Prime Minister's office. After nine years, GC Strategies has bee…

Mr. Speaker, Mr. Firth has made connections and met with public servants for over a decade, wining and dining them for contracts. Officials became comfortable with this system. Officials allowed Mr. Firth to charge millions because they were not willing to follow the rules and used Mr. Firth as their easy way out of accountability. Who is Mr. Firth protecting in this corrupt system?

Madam Speaker, as I stated in my speech, the government has had eight years to attempt to clean up its act and to right its wrongs, yet it has refused to do so. It just keeps throwing people under the bus, whoever is expedient and opportune to maintain its power, along with its coalition partners, the NDP, who are jumping ship at a rapid rate. It is just so incredibly rich to speak of times 10 yea…
