Madam Chair, he is to answer the questions and not offer them. It is $2,000 per month.

What is the average home price in the Yukon?

[Business of Supply, May 15th, 2023]

Madam Chair, the answer is yes. Maclean's says, “[The housing minister] has a plan to solve Canada’s housing crisis”, so that is a yes.

What is the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Victoria?

[Business of Supply, May 15th, 2023]

Madam Chair, it is an honour to be here tonight.

My question for the minister is this: Is Canada in a housing crisis?

[Strengthening Environmental Protection for a Healthier Canada Act, May 15th, 2023]

Madam Speaker, I always find it interesting to hear the NDP chastising the opposition on how the opposition should function. Actually, it was the government saying that we should be doing something different, and then it was the NDP actually supporting the government. Some things are mixed up. The only party in the House that understands its role right now is the Conservative Party in opposition.

I would just like to bring Canadians back to 2015 and the way the Prime Minister came to power. This minister was part of that government of sunny ways. Do members remember that saying? Everything was going to be different. These guys were going to be open, they were never going to invoke closure and they were going to have a whole different way of doing business in Parliament.

I have a really simple question for the minister. What happened to the sunny ways?

[Government Business No. 25—Proceedings on Bill C-21, May 9th, 2023]

Mr. Speaker, the member should apologize as well. He knows very well that, at the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security, we proved hunting rifles were on the banned—

[Government Business No. 25—Proceedings on Bill C-21, May 9th, 2023]

Mr. Speaker, using “disinformation” was brought up earlier today. It implies that members across the way are lying. Especially being the Minister of Public Safety and knowing the law in this country, he should know the law in this place, which is that one cannot say indirectly what one is not supposed to say directly. I would ask, once again, for the member to apologize.

[Government Business No. 25—Proceedings on Bill C-21, May 9th, 2023]

Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, there is still an issue on the table: asking for an apology for impugning another member of the House. I would ask that he respect that and apologize.

[Government Business No. 25—Proceedings on Bill C-21, May 9th, 2023]

Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, when the member impugns my testimony, with respect to it not being straight-up, he is implying that I am lying to the House. I would expect that he would apologize for doing something indirectly that he is not supposed to do directly.
