Natural Resources committee  Genuis is speaking about me, as the MP for the beautiful and wonderful riding of Vaughan—Woodbridge. I would love for the committee to turn its attention to the millions of hard-working Canadian workers who would benefit—

Automotive Industry  He is shipping taxpayer money to a Dutch company that is going to employ Korean foreign workers. This is another slap in the face to hard-working Canadians who are struggling after eight years of the current government. The Liberals cannot get their story straight on how many foreign jobs the $15 billion is buying, so why not release the contracts for Canadians to see for themselves?

Carbon Tax  These are the largest single-year increases ever recorded by Ontario's food bank network. However, the Conservatives' Bill C-234 would create a carbon tax carve-out for hard-working Canadian farmers and would make food prices more affordable for Canadians. The Prime Minister's activist environment minister has promised to resign if this bill passes, which would be a welcome early Christmas gift for Canadians.

Business of Supply  The intimidation imposed by the member of Parliament and the Liberal-NDP government on hard-working Canadians is insufferable. Therefore, the question is this. Who is being intimidated?

Canada Labour Code  The strife is undoubtedly being fuelled by the spiralling cost of living crisis in this country, which is a direct result of the NDP-Liberal government's inflationary deficits and taxes. The costly coalition has made life more difficult for hard-working Canadians, and paycheques are not going nearly as far as they once were. We know the carbon tax is increasing the cost of everything. Food prices have gone up year after year, housing costs have doubled and mortgages have gone up by 150% since the Liberals took office.

Taxation  Why are Liberals opposing the world's efforts for tax fairness and choosing to stand with billionaires instead of with hard-working Canadians?

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  In fact, recently, we have seen mergers in this country that mean there will be less competition. The people who pay when there is less competition are always the hard-working Canadians. What we need to see is more legislation like the leader of the NDP brought forward, to make sure we have teeth in these processes to make a difference for everyday Canadians.

Automotive Industry  Instead, these incompetent, arrogant Liberals are giving the jobs to 1,600 Koreans. Will the minister promise right now that the jobs will go to hard-working Canadians, not workers from any other country, including Korea?

Environment committee  We should be adding our voices as parliamentarians, as duly elected members of the House of Commons who supported this legislation, and call on the Senate to do the right thing and pass this legislation unamended, immediately, so that we can give a billion-dollar break to hard-working Canadian farmers. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Carbon Pricing  They can choose to cut the carbon tax on the farmers who feed us, or they can reveal themselves as champagne-sipping socialists who sneer at hard-working Canadians. If they vote to lower food prices, the minister for climate radicalism will have to make a choice. Is he still the same hard-core, radical activist who was willing to repeatedly break the law in support of his principles, or has he become the prototypical arrogant Liberal who thinks he is indispensable?

Finance committee  Since it's a report to the House, anybody can stand up in that chamber and say whatever they want about any premier in the entire country, but we cannot approve the way the motion is written right now, with the third bullet: “Stands with the majority of Albertans who are opposed to Premier Danielle Smith's dangerous plan to withdraw from the Canada Pension Plan that threaten the pensions of millions of seniors and hard-working Canadians from coast to coast.” We cannot approve that, for multiple reasons, not the least of which is that nobody even knows what Albertans think right now. They're going to be asked what they think.

Lowering Prices for Canadians Act  After eight years, Canadians pay the highest prices in the world for almost every good and service they can imagine. Canadian monopolies are making money on the backs of hard-working Canadians. It is not corporate greed; it is government incompetence driving these changes with the unwillingness to change the Competition Act, as well as the carbon tax driving up the prices of almost every good and service.

Business of Supply  We should be proud of the $300 or $400 going back into the pockets of individual filers and, more so, families. Combined, we are looking at nearly $10 billion in tax cuts for hard-working Canadians from coast to coast to coast. Then there is the Canada child benefit, which has lifted 653,000 children out of poverty. Along with a strong labour market, growth and wages, it is a $26-billion-plus program that we put in place to help Canadian families and children and to lift children out of poverty.

Finance committee  Chair, I'd like to move the motion that I put on notice last Thursday: That the chair of the committee immediately report to the House that the committee: (1) Celebrates the Canada Pension Plan as the foundation of a secure and dignified retirement for tens of millions of Canadians and a pillar of Canada's economy; (2) Recognizes the important contribution of the Quebec Pension Plan, which was established independently at the same time as the Canada Pension Plan; and (3) Stands with the majority of Albertans who are opposed to Premier Danielle Smith's dangerous plan to withdraw from the Canada Pension Plan, which threatens the pensions of millions of seniors and hard-working Canadians from coast to coast. Mr. Chair, in the interests of time, I would like to hear from colleagues and move to a vote as quickly as possible.

Committees of the House  To add insult to injury, it is a government that feigned interest in responding to the concerns of our tourism community and simply did not care to ensure that hard-working Canadian taxpayers' dollars would be protected. Instead, we are now continually bombarded by scandalous revelations on how an application that could have been developed over a weekend wound up costing Canadians $54 million.
