Question Period

The Conservatives highlight Canada's affordability crisis, noting that many live paycheque to paycheque and struggle with grocery costs. They advocate for axing fuel taxes, criticize airport privatization, and condemn stalled infrastructure projects. Furthermore, they demand parole reform to protect victims' families from repeated parole hearings and urge for tighter bail rules.

The Liberals highlight Canada’s economic growth and prioritize affordability through the groceries and essentials benefit. They emphasize programs like dental care and pharmacare and the Building Canada Strong bill. To ensure safety, they advocate for strengthening bail laws and protecting victims' rights, while expressing solidarity with law enforcement and fostering global trade partnerships.

The Bloc opposes Bill C-39, criticizing federal control over Quebec soil and port privatization without consultation. They demand an end to unilateral tax cuts and call for levies on streaming platforms to protect Quebec culture.

The Greens demand a business case for pipeline spending and urge the government to meet Paris climate targets.

Building Canada Strong Act Second reading of Bill C-39. The bill seeks to enhance economic competitiveness by streamlining infrastructure approvals and modernizing trade corridors. Liberals argue these changes strengthen supply chains and improve efficiency. Conversely, the Conservatives claim the proposal is all talk, no results, creating bureaucracy without delivering tangible projects. The Bloc Québécois opposes the legislation, characterizing it as an ecological betrayal that undermines environmental assessments and weakens workers' rights through expanded ministerial powers. 18900 words, 2 hours.

Criminal Code Second reading of Bill C-218. The bill, C-218, aims to indefinitely exclude patients with mental disorders from eligibility for medical assistance in dying. Conservatives argue the legislation is essential to prevent suicide and prioritize recovery, while the Bloc Québécois criticizes the exclusion as discriminatory. Liberals emphasize the legal complexity and personal nature of end-of-life decisions, while proponents urge Parliament to restore hope and care. 6900 words, 1 hour.

Adjournment Debates

Protecting public health care Gord Johns urges the government to enforce the Canada Health Act against Alberta’s Bill 11, which he argues privatizes health care. Ryan Turnbull defends the government’s collaborative approach, emphasizing that while they prioritize universal health care, they are working with provinces to find innovative solutions within federal guidelines.

Combating forced labour in trade Arnold Viersen criticizes the government for inaction on forced labour, arguing that poor enforcement hurts trade relations. Rob Oliphant defends the government's record, citing the complexity of supply chains and highlighting new legislative efforts, such as Bill C-35, to strengthen due diligence and transparency in Canadian import regulations.

Canada's national debt levels Greg McLean warns that rising federal debt and interest payments threaten the economy, urging the government to curb spending. Ryan Turnbull defends the government's fiscal record, citing Canada's strong growth, credit rating, and strategic investments intended to spark an economic "supercycle" and attract business investment.
