The Conservatives criticize the government's handling of the shortage of children's medication and the soaring cost of living. They highlight record food bank usage and urge the Liberals to stop out-of-control spending and cancel their plan to triple the carbon tax on gas, groceries, and home heating. They also demand answers about Chinese foreign interference in recent federal elections.

The Liberals focus on addressing the shortage of children's medication and bolstering the healthcare system. They defend their fiscally responsible economic approach, highlighting investments in dental care and the Canada workers benefit, while criticizing reckless Conservative crypto advice. They emphasize climate change action and strengthening national security and support for Ukraine.

The Bloc condemns the government's "futile" stance on health care funding, demanding increased transfers. They highlight the Liberals' poor service delivery for seniors and criticize Canada's pro-oil industry delegation and strategy at COP27.

The NDP raise concerns about the shortage of children's medication and the lack of beds in children's emergency rooms. They criticize the government for failing to tackle corporate greed driving inflation and demand funding for mental health care. They also call to end immigration detention in jails.

The Green Party criticizes the Prime Minister for avoiding COP27, asserting Canada is part of the climate problem, and demands cancellation of oil projects.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022 Second reading of Bill C-32. The bill implements provisions from the fall economic statement and budget 2022, focusing on making life more affordable and fostering economic growth. Key measures include permanently interest-free federal student loans, housing affordability initiatives, and investments in clean energy and critical minerals. While Liberals stress targeted support amid global inflation, Conservatives criticize new spending and tax hikes for fueling inflation. The Bloc and NDP argue it falls short on seniors' support, EI reform, and tax fairness, despite some welcomed measures. 24800 words, 3 hours.

Amendment to Bill C-228 at Committee Stage Members debate a point of order on Bill C-228. A Liberal MP argues an amendment protecting severance pay in bankruptcy is beyond the bill's scope; Conservatives defend the committee's decision to include it. 500 words in 2 segments: 1 2.

Adjournment Debates

Carbon Tax and Inflation Garnett Genuis criticizes the government's plan to triple the carbon tax, arguing it will increase costs for Canadians. Terry Beech defends the government's approach, citing global factors and outlining affordability measures. Genuis insists domestic policy causes inflation, while Beech maintains the government is fiscally responsible.

Emergencies Act invocation Michael Barrett accuses the Public Safety Minister of misleading Canadians by claiming police requested the Emergencies Act invocation. Mark Gerretsen responds that police requested federal support to address the threat. Barrett questions whether the minister is being untruthful, and Gerretsen insists that government acted appropriately.

Abuse in Canadian Sport Sébastien Lemire asks when the Prime Minister will launch an independent public inquiry into mistreatment and mismanagement in Canadian sport. Adam van Koeverden defends the government's actions, citing the creation of the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner and frozen funding for Hockey Canada, but recognizes more work is necessary.
