The Budget  Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for raising this subject. I think the government has made its position quite clear. We will keep working together to make sure we can do better. We will keep doing that work not only in committee, but also here in the House

The Budget   of their kids, but Galen Weston and his friends just keep driving up the cost of food. Let me be very clear that decades of consecutive governments have peeled away Canada's social safety net. Successive governments have prioritized the bottom line of folks like Galen and his friends over

The Budget   more. I firmly believe that indigenous peoples have the right to housing as much as people in my community of Oakville North—Burlington. The Auditor General's report was quite clear, on both housing and first nations policing, that we have not done as much as we should. I

Finance   of this government. The statistics are clear. The Bloc Québécois claims to promote the interests of Quebec, but voted with the Liberals on every budget allocation to support this exorbitant, inflationary spending. Do the government and the Bloc Québécois have the courage to admit that they have

Mental Health and Addictions   suite of measures that addresses this crisis because it is a public health public crisis. It is not a criminal issue. We continue to work with B.C. on the exemption it requested, with the clear lens of public health and public safety.

Persons with Disabilities  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government is failing people living with disabilities. Disability groups have been clear. The disability benefit announced by the government does not work. Two hundred dollars is not enough. The Prime Minister is giving big oil billions of dollars

Mental Health and Addictions  Mr. Speaker, let us talk through a clear lens. The number of Canadians who have died from drug overdoses since 2015 is 40,000. They were entirely preventable. Last year, B.C. set a record with over 2,500 overdose deaths, and the Liberals want to talk about saving lives

The Budget   believe that the federal government should respect the division of powers. This proves that the Prime Minister is out of touch with reality. Quebeckers are clear. They want the federal government to work with other governments. Instead of electioneering, why will the Prime Minister

Mental Health and Addictions   is a tragedy. I met with Minister Whiteside this past Friday, and we are reviewing the exemption request. We have a clear lens on public health and public safety, because we have a plan. They do not.

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, since the beginning of our government in 2015, we have been very clear that the climate crisis is a priority. We have taken an enormous amount of action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with a comprehensive plan that covers all sectors of society and with tools

The Budget   on the rails, on properly built rails. The Quebec government is currently repairing the railway, but we need a clear signal from the federal government and Via Rail indicating that passenger rail service will once again be offered to Gaspé residents. The initial investment will make

The Budget   prattle. Their dollar-for-dollar policy is just political prattle. It sounds like a McDonald's ad: This week, Big Macs are a dollar. It sounds like a McDonald's commercial. It has no real substance. When I take a closer look, it is quite clear that the Liberals and the Conservatives

This follows another Conservative motion that's being looked at by the OGGO committee as well. This one's a little more specific to my riding, and I think the more transparency we can have, the better

Justice committee  I'm deeply concerned about the messaging that will come out of the work of this committee today. If this bill passes unamended, which is what it seems the Liberals want, then the messaging is going to be clear that this government does not stand with teachers. We had Dr. Kelly

Industry committee   of profiling even if we have very strong safeguards and clear language in the bill, because there are so many ways that corporations will be able to circumvent the intention of the law. It's going to take court cases to go to the next step in protecting kids. Would that be a fair
