Mr. Speaker, I am looking at the Speech from the Throne, and it highlights several areas that talk about creating an energy superpower by removing barriers, yet the government refuses to eliminate the job-killing Bill C-69 or the production cap. It talks about homes, yet the housing minister says housing prices should not fall. It talks about building “a safer and more secure Canada”, but for 10 years the government has done nothing about the fentanyl crisis. It talks about hiring 1,000 RCMP officers, but for a decade the government has refused to buy heavy body armour for the RCMP. It goes on to talk about cost issues, but the government went ahead and handed over $26 billion to friends like McKinsey.
Is this, as the government calls it, “Building Canada Strong”, or is it just building another empty PR program for this tired and stale government?
