Statements by Members

Question Period

The Conservatives blame the carbon tax for a cost of living crisis, leading to skyrocketing grocery prices, a projected $700 increase next year, and record food bank usage. They demand the government axe the tax for farmers, families, and First Nations and criticize the Senate for gutting Bill C-234.
The Liberals defend their carbon price and climate action, highlighting affordability. They cite reduced child poverty, job creation, and social programs like $10-a-day child care and national school food policy. They stress support for Ukraine, bail reform, and grocery competition, criticizing Conservative obstruction.
The Bloc demands the government reimburse Quebec for costs related to asylum seekers, expresses concern over border security staffing, criticizes the delayed emissions cap as a "licence to pollute", and condemns layoffs at CBC/Radio-Canada.
The NDP raise concerns about skyrocketing grocery prices and food bank use, criticizing corporate profits and the emissions cap. They call for action on the Attawapiskat housing crisis and funding for 2SLGBTQI+ organizations, and criticize Conservatives regarding Indigenous issues.
The Green Party criticizes the government's weak oil and gas emissions cap, stating it allows production to rise.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order.

It is actually unbelievable, and Conservatives will not rest until the carbon tax is axed for families, first nations and farmers.
