Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship   no longer house, educate or even feed. Yes, Quebec society is also about integration, because we have a duty to provide these people with all the necessary tools to welcome them properly. Will the minister finally announce an equitable distribution of asylum seekers among Quebec

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship   will no longer be able to access education. Hong Kongers will be sent back to face an escalation of arbitrary detentions and arrests because of the draconian safeguarding national security bill. Will the minister resume the six-month priority processing average for Hong Kongers

The Budget  , they solved that problem with their budget: Jurisdictions no longer exist for the Liberal government. The solution was simple. They just made daddy's Constitution go poof. Being Prime Minister is not enough for the member for Papineau. He decided to become premier of all 10 provinces

The Budget   approaches its responsibility to manage the nation's finances. No longer does the government think it is possible to pluck numbers out of thin air, put them in a spreadsheet and magically produce a budget that balances itself. Fifth graders could tell us that a deficit is not just

Finance  -wide early learning and child care system. While it allows parents to save thousands of dollars per year on child care, it has also allowed Canada to reach a record high for working-age women's labour force participation in our history. I am proud to say that we are in the process

National Defence   defence spending by $8.1 billion over the next five years and $73 billion over the next 20 years. This translates to 1.76% of GDP spent on defence by 2029-30, which is a significant step toward reaching our NATO commitment of 2%. We developed the policy based on extensive consultation

The Budget   spending, deeper debt and deficits and, of course, the harmful carbon tax. With these and other policies, Liberals are fuelling inflation and an affordability crisis, pushing middle-class aspirations even further out of the reach of many. Struggling families cannot afford more

Finance   remained on track and delivered a balanced budget in 2015, all while cutting taxes 180 times to their lowest levels in 50 years. Canada was looked to for leadership in the world. Canadians were in control of their lives. Cut to today, and we have lost our way in Canada. We no longer

Housing   their initiatives, such as zoning modernization, adoption of new permitting technologies, legalization of secondary suites, process streamlining and more, ultimately allow for more housing to be built more quickly. We can no longer continue to build housing the way we have for decades

World Immunization Week   against vaccine misinformation. Let us promote vaccine production and distribution. In this World Immunization Week, let us ensure that we reach every child with life-saving vaccines.

The Budget   is that Canadians are worse off. After nine years, too many young Canadians feel as though the deck is stacked against them. They get a good job and work hard. However, far too often, the reward of a secure, prosperous and comfortable middle class remains out of reach for them. After nine years

The Budget   younger Canadians a fair chance to build a good middle-class life feels out of reach. That is something I hear about, not just from young people, but from their parents and grandparents. I would like to focus on one of the issues I hear about most, not only in my role as Parliamentary

The Budget   those identical promises. Just how much credibility does it think it deserves for anything that it claims in its various announcements? After nine years, we have unaffordable rents, home ownership no longer an attainable middle-class ambition, record food bank use and another budget

Industry committee   for the summer, so I would say that we stick to that. We reached consensus with the Conservatives around having an additional meeting on SDTC. If you want to have this instead of that, I think that's an option you could consider, but when you bring a new topic every single week

Amendments to the Standing Orders   evolving since 1867, and of course, in some instances, they go back centuries to the British House of Commons. The convention has been that a government ought not amend the Standing Orders absent all-party support. As a general rule, there has been an effort to reach consensus. We
