Mr. Speaker, this is called the House of Commons for a reason. It was created to serve the common people, not jet-setting elites, yet the Prime Minister did not get the memo. How else do we explain a leader who spends more time in the air than in this chamber? He even puts Justin Trudeau to shame.
In 2022, the then prime minister flew just over 127,000 kilometres in 10 months, or roughly three times around the earth. The Prime Minister, in just eight months, had 28 trips totalling 153,000 kilometres, which is enough to circle the globe nearly four times. That is almost an entire month away from Canadians.
What do we have to show for it? No softwood lumber—
