The Budget  Madam Speaker, on the contrary, I would have liked to see the Prime Minister, when he was leader of the Liberal Party in 2015, fulfill his promise and spend his $10-billion deficits in the first and second years on infrastructure. I would remind my colleague that it was Denis Le

The Budget  Madam Speaker, when I give a speech, I usually say that I am pleased to rise in the House to speak to a subject. Today, however, I cannot really say that I am pleased. I would like to begin with a brief look back in time. The date is August 2, 2015, when the election was called.

Finance  Mr. Speaker, if we want to lower inflation and enable the Bank of Canada to reduce interest rates, we have limited options. We need to cap spending by applying the dollar-for-dollar rule. If we spend a dollar, we have to find a way to save a dollar. It is simple. That is how ord

Finance  Mr. Speaker, we are calling for three things today. It is not complicated. One of the three things the Conservative Party is calling for is to build homes, not bureaucracy. The government insists on announcing inflationary measures that are costing Canadian taxpayers billions of

Intergovernmental Affairs  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of this Prime Minister, rents have doubled and the dream of home ownership for our young people is dead. Food banks are reporting record demand. Everything he touches turns bad. He is ruining everything in Ottawa, and now he wants to impose his in

Intergovernmental Affairs  Mr. Speaker, how can you trust them? When it comes to any federal responsibility, like border management, managing our military, ArriveCAN or employment insurance to name just a few, it is apparent that everything goes haywire with this government. Now he is adding insult to in

Battle of Vimy Ridge  Mr. Speaker, 107 years ago today, on April 9, 1917, a fierce battle began on the slopes of a hill in Vimy, France, between the Canadian Expeditionary Force and the defending German forces. At 5:30 a.m., a single cannon sounded in the distance. On that signal, all hell broke loos

Housing  Mr. Speaker, last week I was in Trois‑Rivières, a city with a vacancy rate of 0.4%. A new report by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, or CMHC, shows that construction is going to plummet over the coming year. CMHC therefore expects that demand will drive up the cost of

Housing  Mr. Speaker, over the past week, we have seen nothing but photo ops. It is worth reminding the minister that the current programs are being announced as if they are brand new, but they have been around since 2017. Since 2017, practically nothing has been done with these programs

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, of course I speak with my constituents. They elected me because most of them feel pretty much the same way I do. People are really fed up with the Prime Minister and his government. Every time I meet with people in Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, they ask me when t

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, as I said in my speech, Quebec imports food from the rest of Canada. The farmers who grow the food pay the carbon tax. The food processors pay the carbon tax. The carbon tax that is paid by those who transport and process Quebec's food has an impact on the price. Pe

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I was trying very hard to figure out where my colleague was going with all that. First of all, the carbon tax is a tax plan, not an environmental plan. Second, my colleague from Montcalm just said that the government's official dance partner is the NDP. I mentioned

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I want to begin by saying that I will be sharing my time with the hon. member for Foothills. In exactly one hour, a vote will be held here in the House.
