Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, it has been proven, after nine years, that the Liberal policies are doing nothing but creating more red tape. I put forward a PMB, Bill C-318. Where is it? The Liberals stole it. If the Liberals are so great with policies, maybe they should put some policies forward that do not create red tape, do not tax the taxpayer to death and actually have homes built.

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, it is unfortunate that the member suggests that the things I have spoken about are false. These are things that I have heard from the constituents I represent in a rural riding in Saskatchewan, where the government has been hell-bent on not respecting provincial jurisdiction and what the premier sees best for his province.

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, what we do know with the NDP-Liberal government is that photo ops and announcements do nothing. We know that. At the committee I am on, we have heard quite regularly how taxes on development—

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, we are hearing at the HUMA committee right now, in a study of housing, that the taxes and the regulatory red tape burden that developers are facing are in the way of getting housing built. At the end of the day, we know that after nine years, the Liberals, propped up by the NDP, have not gotten the job done.

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, we know the results are in. After nine years of the Liberal government, it is clear that the Prime Minister is not worth the cost for any generation. Food Banks Canada's recent report card said that nearly 50% of Canadians feel financially worse off compared to last year and that 25% of Canadians are currently facing food insecurity, a reality that should be unthinkable in a country like Canada, but, instead, is a growing problem.

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  moved: Motion No. 10 That Bill C-69 be amended by deleting Clause 90. Motion No. 11 That Bill C-69 be amended by deleting Clause 91. Motion No. 12 That Bill C-69 be amended by deleting Clause 92. Motion No. 13 That Bill C-69 be amended by deleting Clause 93.

Privilege  Madam Speaker, we know that the role of the Speaker carries great responsibility in the House. It is critical to the functioning of our democratic institution. The Speaker has a duty to enforce the rules and the traditions of the House, whether written or not. The Speaker has the responsibility to maintain order and to preside over debates.

Questions on the Order Paper  With regard to the government's response to the April 1, 2024, “Axe the Tax” rallies across Canada: (a) did the Minister of Public Safety issue any directives or advice to the RCMP or other police agencies in relation to the rallies, and, if so, what are the details, including the directive or advice; and (b) did the RCMP issue any directives or advice to RCMP officers assigned to the rallies and, if so, for each instance, (i) who provided the directive or advice, (ii) what was the directive or advice, (iii) what location or locations was the directive or advice intended for?

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the current Prime Minister, Canadians are struggling just to put food on the table. Food insecurity continues to worsen across this country, and today, Food Banks Canada's poverty report card confirms it. Nearly 50% of Canadians feel financially worse off than last year, 25% of Canadians are going hungry, and food banks have seen a 50% increase since 2021.

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, talking about pattern of behaviour, we see in the House a party, the New Democratic Party, not acting as the opposition party it was elected as, but as the government's lapdog. It is absolutely pathetic. When we talk about Canadians and what—

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, this legislation was introduced in this place on May 6. There has only been four sitting days since that time and we are seeing, again, time allocation on a bill at a stage. I will go back to my first question I asked not long ago, which I did not receive an answer from the minister.

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, the budget and the BIA are increasing taxes on Canadians who cannot afford any more and on parents who cannot afford to put food on their tables to feed their children because taxes keep going up, in particular, the carbon tax. The reason we do not support the budget is that the NDP-Liberal government keeps increasing taxes on Canadians.

Employment Insurance Act  Madam Speaker, as has been said, Canada's current parental benefit system puts adoptive and intended parents at a disadvantage. With access to 15 fewer weeks of leave through the employment insurance program, families formed through adoption and surrogacy are robbed by our parental benefit system of precious time together, time that is needed to care for their child, to bond and to form healthy attachments, and time that is critical in the first year of a child's life or placement with a family.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of the Prime Minister, Canadians are struggling to put food on the table. Food banks received a record two million visits in a single month last year, and a million more Canadians are expected to visit food banks this year. The carbon tax is driving up the cost of groceries and everything else.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, Canadians are painfully aware that the Prime Minister and his NDP-Liberal government are not worth the cost. Last week's carbon tax hike is driving up the cost of gas, groceries and home heating. Families are struggling to put food on the table, and they cannot afford higher costs.
