Violence Against Pregnant Women Act  Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, I guess there was a question in this House earlier about whether the member for Kingston and the Islands supported the motion that I proposed yesterday, so I am going to pose the question again. If you seek it, I believe you will find unanimous consent for the following—

Emergency Preparedness  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. If you seek it, I believe you will find unanimous consent for the following motion. I move that the House call for the immediate return of vile serial killer and rapist Paul Bernardo to a maximum security prison, that all court-ordered dangerous offenders and mass murderers be permanently assigned a maximum security classification, that the least-restrictive-environment standard be repealed and that the language of necessary restrictions that the previous Conservative government put in place be restored.

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, the IMF warns that Canada is at the greatest risk of home mortgage defaults in the world. The Liberal government's out-of-control spending and massive deficits have caused inflation to skyrocket. Canadians cannot absorb these higher rates, placing their dreams of home ownership at risk.

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, Canadians simply cannot afford the higher cost of living brought about by these Liberal government policies. They are being forced to work more shifts or find a second job simply to get by. Canadians deserve our help. Budget 2023 only makes the cost of living crisis worse.

Tourism Industry  Madam Speaker, Canada's tourism sector, and Canadians who enjoy travelling, are under attack by the Liberal government's out-of-control spending and tax hikes. A recent Ipsos report found that six in 10 Canadians are now planning to scale back on their summer vacation plans, yet the Liberal government continues to hike taxes, like adding a second carbon tax to the price of gas, which will add 17¢ per litre.

Tourism Industry  Madam Speaker, that is an interesting response. Surely our tourism minister knows that travel is a discretionary activity. Adding 41¢ a litre to gas through the first carbon tax will not help. A second Liberal carbon tax of 17¢ will hurt as well. If we add GST to that, we have a tax on a tax on a tax.

Health Care Staffing Shortages  Madam Speaker, I stand in the House today to add my name to those of residents in Fort Erie and Port Colborne who were shocked and disappointed by the decision of the Niagara health system to reduce the operating hours of the urgent care centres in both communities. What makes this decision so disappointing and frustrating is the fact that nearly 8,000 residents in Fort Erie alone are without a family doctor.

Business of Supply  Again, Madam Chair, he is not answering the question. Again, according to Niagara Regional Housing, the answer is 12 years. Does the minister know the estimated wait time for a family in Fort Erie who is waiting for a new, affordable four-bedroom unit?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the Liberals' programs are failing. Again, according to the Niagara Regional Housing, the answer is eight years. Minister, under the first two streams of the government's rapid housing initiative—

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, under the first two streams of the government's rapid housing initiative, the government committed $2.5 billion to projects. How much money was allocated to construction in the Niagara Region?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the program is not working. The answer is $10.5 million out of $2.5 billion. Can the government answer how many new, affordable housing units have been built in the Niagara Region through this program?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the minister fails to answer the questions. He does not even know the details of the rapid housing initiative and how many units were built in Niagara. The answer to that, out of the $2.5 billion, is only 42 units in Niagara. Do the government and minister know how many households in Niagara Falls were on the centralized housing wait-list last summer?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, again, according to Niagara Regional Housing, the answer is 4,500 households as of July 2022. Does the minister know how many households and Niagara residents are on the Niagara region's affordable housing wait-list?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, does the minister know what the average rent is for a one-bedroom apartment in Niagara Falls?
