Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, what I do know is that we cannot be stalling on real solutions to the climate crisis and on moving forward with renewable energy. As a matter of fact, I have in front of me an article put out by CBC News quoting the Premier of Newfoundland, Andrew Furey. It says, “Newfoundland and Labrador is positioning itself as the primary benefactor and regulator when it comes to offshore wind developments in the province—but the deal hinges on federal legislation passing in Ottawa.”

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  I know that in northern Manitoba, there are places that are being evacuated as a result of catastrophic climate change. Every time there is a bill put forward that even attempts to address the climate crisis, the Conservatives violently oppose it. I am wondering if my hon. colleague thinks that the Conservatives are offering any common sense. I find that their analysis is complete nonsense.

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Speaker, as I was listening to my colleague's question, I was reflecting on, if I could be frank this evening, the deep sadness that I feel, sitting in the chamber and hearing the Conservatives continually deny that we are in a climate crisis, continually try to stall any legislation that will move us forward in the direction that our children need, the direction that we need today, to see a sustainable future for Canadians and for people around the world.

Health committee  Folks ask, “Well, back when Pierre Poilievre was the minister of housing, how many houses did he build?” He didn't have to build houses, because there wasn't a housing crisis. The federal government didn't have to step in or didn't have to try to step in, as they have tried to do now, and they have failed miserably by building fewer houses and spending more money.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  As a Green Party government, we would be much more ambitious. We would move more quickly and take this issue more seriously. We are in a climate crisis. That means that we need to make significant investments in public transportation. We need to electrify our grid across the country and we need to eliminate all oil subsidies.

Health committee  It's worse than nothing; it's making things worse. How can they possibly know that there's a housing crisis, which again is not the responsibility of the federal government, and then go on and say they're going to spend billions of dollars and build more houses, and then build less? It's nonsensical.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  The government has led the way in working with municipalities, provincial governments, non-profit groups and indigenous people in ensuring that we have a better future with respect to housing and the crisis that we are having to face. Contrast that to the cuts that the Conservative Party is proposing. These are the types of things that really matter to Canadians. We are aware of the concerns in regards to affordability.

Privilege  It is heartbreaking because there are so many subjects we should be talking about in the House right now. We should be talking about public finances, the housing crisis, the fact that Canadians cannot afford groceries. Canada is a G7 country where one-quarter of people have trouble feeding themselves. However, we are here this evening to talk about the Speaker of the House of Commons.

Privilege  She spoke to me about how important it was for her clients to have equality within the services that are provided to them. We know, of course, that we are in a mental health crisis and that every bit of assistance helps in that regard. That is one piece of legislation that the official opposition has filibustered at the committee. There are, of course, amendments to the Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia accord act that we need to get through.

Health committee  This will really crystallize, when I come to it, the hypocrisy and lack of transparency and, as a matter of fact, overt opaqueness of this NDP-Liberal coalition: He added there's “amnesia with pandemics in the extreme” and Ottawa may simply move on from plans to prepare the country for the next health crisis. He went on and talked a bit about Connaught labs in Toronto, which was privatized, etc. This is the connection that I wanted to make before being interrupted many times by Mr. Julian: After a failed partnership with a Chinese vaccine company, Ottawa picked Novavax to produce that company's COVID product at the Montreal site.

Health committee  Julian takes the opportunity to slag the previous government when he's supported the Liberal government for the last nine years. We've seen an affordability crisis like we've never seen in generations. We have more Canadians visiting food banks under this government and under this coalition than ever before. We've seen more homeless encampments under this coalition than ever before, so it's a little rich for our colleague down the way—whom I respect—to stand there and use this as an opportunity to slag a government and slag any intentions that we put forth.

Housing  She shows up for ribbon cuttings for projects that we have funded when she voted against them in the House of Commons. It is important that our words match our actions if we are going to solve the housing crisis. I hope the Conservatives will do the same.

Youth  Will the minister restore the funding, save the level up program and protect the livelihoods of marginalized youth during an affordability crisis?

Finance  Speaker, after nine years of this Liberal-Bloc Prime Minister, Quebeckers are living in unbearable misery because of the housing and homelessness crisis. The more the government spends, with the Bloc Québécois's support, the more the Quebec nation struggles. The Bloc is keeping this Prime Minister in power. Can the Bloc Québécois end this spectacle and think of Quebeckers, instead of supporting the misery this Prime Minister is putting them through?

Housing  Speaker, I can just imagine the setting when the leader of the Conservatives sat down with the napkin he wrote his housing plan on and thought: “What can I do to address the housing crisis? Idea one, raise taxes on home construction.” I cannot make this stuff up, but that is not all. The Conservatives also plan to cut funding for affordable housing. They plan to cut funding for cities that build more housing, and they plan to cut the measures that are going to make it easier for people to buy their first home.
