Statements by Members

Question Period

The Conservatives criticize rising food and fuel costs, calling for diesel tax relief, and demand results on housing affordability. They press for tougher parole and prison drug policies, oppose MAID for people with mental illness without safeguards, and argue Canadian firms should benefit from LNG investment.
The Liberals emphasize affordability through grocery benefits, fuel-tax relief and family supports, while promoting progress on housing affordability and plans to reduce homelessness. They champion major energy projects, food supply-chain investment and domestic defence production, and highlight efforts to strengthen criminal justice, support seniors and maintain the exclusion of MAID for people whose sole underlying condition is mental illness.
The Bloc attack the proposed pipeline, arguing it would divert billions from Quebec to benefit American-owned oil companies and undermine environmental protections. They also call for stronger federal action on homelessness in Quebec.
The NDP condemn the Bank of Canada’s alleged violations of anti-scab laws and call on the Prime Minister to defend striking workers.

Petitions

Electoral Integrity and the Alberta Referendum Heather McPherson (NDP) seeks an emergency debate on Alberta’s referendum, citing invalid mail-in ballots, accessibility barriers, a data breach, alleged foreign interference and separatist collaboration, and questions about electoral integrity and national unity. 400 words.

Building Canada Strong Act Second reading of Bill C-39. The bill proposes to streamline federal reviews and approvals for major projects, coordinate consultations, modernize transportation and trade rules, and amend labour-relations provisions. Liberal members say it will reduce duplication and provide decisions within a year while maintaining environmental standards and Indigenous rights. Opposition members raise concerns about ministerial discretion, environmental safeguards, Indigenous consultation, workers’ right to strike, accountability, and whether the changes will deliver projects. 59400 words, 7 hours in 2 segments: 1 2.

Ukrainian Heritage Month Act Third reading of Bill S-210. The bill designates September as Ukrainian Heritage Month to recognize Ukrainian Canadians’ contributions, celebrate their culture and history, and promote education about their heritage. Members across parties support the measure, also citing the importance of acknowledging Ukrainians’ resilience and Canada’s ties to Ukraine. 6800 words, 1 hour.

Adjournment Debates

Climate tipping points Elizabeth May warns that climate tipping points, including a possible slowdown or collapse of the Atlantic circulation system, demand urgent emissions cuts, and says pipeline approval undermines Canada’s commitments. Wade Grant says the government is acting through net-zero policies, climate science, adaptation, nature protection and clean-economy investments.
Veteran security contracts Gord Johns urges the government to retain the Commissionaires’ right of first refusal for federal security contracts, arguing its cancellation threatens veteran jobs and raises costs. Wade Grant says the policy is outdated because the Commissionaires has fallen short of its 60% veteran-employment requirement, and points to broader employment supports for veterans.
Canada Revenue Agency service Jacob Mantle cites residents’ long waits for tax adjustments and costly appeals of CRA errors, arguing the agency holds taxpayers to stricter standards than itself. Brendan Hanley acknowledges frustrations and outlines anti-fraud and service measures. Mantle points to rising complaints and asks whether the government will expand automatic tax filing; Hanley reiterates the CRA’s commitment to improvement.
