Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act Report stage of Bill C-50. The bill establishes a framework to support workers and economic growth in the shift to a net-zero economy, including a partnership council and action plans. Conservatives propose numerous amendments, fearing significant job losses in traditional energy sectors and arguing it infringes on provincial jurisdiction. Liberals and NDP support the bill as a necessary step for sustainable jobs and transition, while the Bloc raises concerns about Quebec's jurisdiction. Greens call it a missed opportunity but support action. 38600 words, 11 hours in 4 segments: 1 2 3 4.

Advance Disclosure of Budget Measures Members debate a question of privilege regarding the government announcing budget policy initiatives before the budget is tabled. While precedent suggests this is a matter of convention, not privilege, Members from different parties express concern about the practice of using pre-budget leaks for political advantage and call for clearer rules on disclosing budget information. 1700 words in 2 segments: 1 2.

Statements by Members

Question Period

The Conservatives criticize the Liberal government's impact on the cost of living, highlighting the carbon tax hike and its effect on gas and groceries. They demand the Prime Minister meet with premiers and stop interfering in provincial jurisdictions. They also raise concerns about government corruption, wasteful spending, and national security breaches.
The Liberals promote the sustainable jobs bill and green economy, contrasting their investments with Conservative "inaction." They highlight efforts on affordable housing, including Quebec partnerships, and defend the pollution price and related rebates. Other points include AI investments, support for youth, Indigenous services, foreign interference inquiry, and support for Ukraine.
The Bloc defends Quebec's jurisdiction, demanding federal non-interference in housing and the transfer of funds without conditions. They support Quebec's modest immigration demands and seek assurance the government won't challenge secularism.
The NDP address the housing crisis, including for the military, and the infrastructure gap and counselling for Indigenous peoples. They question military sales to Israel and accuse the government of misleading Parliament on grocery funding.
The Green Party questions the delay in launching the $1.5-billion co-op housing program and building needed homes.
