Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I did not speak today about individuals who are on artificial means and at the end of life. I did not speak about individuals who had living will directives. What I spoke about was the extension of MAID to those who are mentally incapable and the abdication of the government in providing the necessary supports to help those who are most vulnerable make the decision to continue a life in dignity.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his concern and compassion over the most vulnerable. The most pressing thing right now in order to make sure MAID is not extended to those with mental health issues is to make sure the Liberals live up to their promise of caring for those with mental health issues, and that is not through providing assisted dying.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I hope my hon. friend is aware of the simple fact that those who are suffering from mental illness, those who are in the darkest part of their life and whose government has abandoned them, do not have the capacity to choose MAID, because they are in desperate need of help that their government needs to provide.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I rise today to speak to this extremely important bill, Bill C-39, an act to amend an act to amend the Criminal Code on medical assistance in dying. Bill C-39 would delay by one year the inclusion of mental illness as a sole underlying condition for eligibility to access medical assistance in dying.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of the Prime Minister, Canadians have never struggled more with paying for groceries, paying for rent and paying to put gas in their cars. Everything is more expensive, and the government still plans to increase its ideological carbon tax. This tax has done nothing to reduce emissions and has made everything more expensive.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, taxing Canadians to death is not going to fix the climate. Statistics Canada is reporting that a quarter of Canadians would not be able to afford a sudden expense of $500, yet the government still plans to triple the carbon tax on April 1. If the government would only cancel its plans to increase the carbon tax this year, Canadians would be able to afford to pay their bills once again.

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of the Prime Minister, we have billions of dollars of waste. The Canada Infrastructure Bank was created on the recommendation of former McKinsey CEO Dominic Barton. The current CEO of the bank was a partner at McKinsey. It is no surprise that McKinsey has received consulting contracts of $1.5 million.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives do not oppose meaningful investments in communities. In fact, we believe in the compassionate way of reducing recidivism. I remind my friend that it was this side of the House that passed a recidivism bill last year. Our main issue is waste. Our main issue is the fact that we have diverted millions of dollars away from dealing with violent crimes and into focusing on law-abiding firearms owners, like hunters, sport shooters and farmers.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the individual who took the life of Officer Pierzchala was out on bail. He had a lifetime prohibition on having a firearm, yet that was not a deterrent. The family of Officer Pierzchala is listening and watching. When we say there is no hope of keeping someone behind bars and attempting to rehabilitate that person, and that the only thing we can do is put them back on the street to commit another violent crime and take another life, it is a travesty of justice.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I have worked in the Jane and Finch community, where many programs were funded by the Harper government for community policing, so I beg to differ on that. I acknowledge that our bail system needs to be reformed both for those people who may be overrepresented in it and for the victims of crime.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, it is my honour to rise today to speak to this motion, sponsored by the member for Fundy Royal. It is an important debate we are having today, and I appreciate listening to the members and their various perspectives on this issue. It is clear that Canada's justice system and, more specifically our bail system, is indeed broken.

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, eight years of the Prime Minister's overspending has led to the current inflationary crisis. Canadians have never struggled more with paying for food, fuel and shelter. Former finance minister Bill Morneau, former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney and current Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem all agree that the Liberals have overspent and Canadians are suffering as a result.

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister should learn the lesson that he has not acted in the best interests of Canadians, with eight years of wasteful inflationary spending. Now the government wants Canadians to just trust it and give it a blank cheque for $2 billion to invest in a company that does not even exist.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, it is truly an honour to rise this evening to speak to and express my support for this very important bill. This bill was brought forward by the member for North Okanagan—Shuswap. Bill C-291 is an act to amend the Criminal Code and to make consequential amendments to other acts, namely child sex abuse material.
