Privilege  Madam Speaker, let me be very clear: No, the government did not err. The member should read the statement from the Speaker. One has to take a look at the process in time. It is interesting. Here is the difference. I asked the member a question, and what did he do? He avoided

Privilege  Madam Speaker, I always listen attentively to my colleague. I think, in this case, it is very clear, as we have seen with Justice Hogue's preliminary report, which points very clearly to some things. There is a real shortcoming in terms of how the government and past governments

Finance  . That also includes Stephen Harper, who led our country out of the great recession by offering a path to balanced budgets. As long as the government keeps spending like there is no tomorrow, it will be remembered for depriving our children and grandchildren of that bright future

Canada-China Relations committee  That's fair play. I think the worst thing is doing an after-the-fact gotcha moment, when these things are very complex and when there are all manner of things happening at the same time. However, I remember the free trade debate when Stephen Harper and the Conservatives were

On the finance committee, along with my colleagues, I sat through testimony for 20 hours, hearing Canadian stakeholders comment on the provisions of this bill. When they did so, there were two very clear

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. During my speech that preceded the speech of the hon. member, or at least that it is what we are considered in this place, it was made very clear that impugning an individual's motives required an apology and a withdrawal. Out

The member asked what Conservatives would do, and I will be crystal clear on that as well. Conservatives would axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime, because that is what Canadians

The clear proof of that is exactly what we have before us in both the fall economic statement and in the budget that was debated earlier today. There has been this very interesting trend

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  . That is a clear example of the utter incompetence that we have seen from the Liberal Party. The Liberals cannot manage their legislative agenda, and they certainly cannot manage the economy. We are seeing debt spiralling out of control. We are seeing pain and suffering in people's lives. We

The Budget  Madam Speaker, the first thing I would do is remind the member that the Gordie Howe bridge was actually a project brought forward by the previous Conservative government, under Stephen Harper. Second, I will remind him that what Conservatives voted against was a tired

That is $733 a month to live in this economy. When we talk about the cost of living, what we are talking about is the crisis of capitalism, runaway profits and the inability

National Framework for a Guaranteed Livable Basic Income Act   further away over time. These days, the government covers barely 25% of these costs. Are we going to trust the federal government to manage the social safety net programs that Quebec has adopted? The answer is no. It is clear from the examples I gave that, on the contrary

National Framework for a Guaranteed Livable Basic Income Act  Madam Speaker, this bill is very clear that a guaranteed livable basic income would be in addition to other supports and services meant to meet specific and special needs. That would include things like extra supports that may be required by certain communities. The disability
