Mr. Speaker, I sincerely hope that every member of the House will support us. I know that we are divided on certain things, but I think that all of us believe in the importance of supporting the middle class across this country. Yes, I hope the NDP will vote for these measures. I also hope that the Bloc Québécois will vote for them. I hope that our Conservative colleagues will vote for them as well.

Mr. Speaker, the only inconstant flip-flopper of the House is the leader of the official opposition. For months he has been talking about how Canadians need a little more support, but it turns out that unless someone recites robotically his Dr. Seuss rhymes, he is not going to agree with their approach to helping Canadians. Now is the chance for him and his MPs to actually give Canadians some real support. Let us get together and do—

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the leader of the NDP for his question. I hope that he and all MPs will truly help us help Canadians. Our government understands the importance of supporting the most vulnerable. That is what we have been doing since 2015, and we will continue to do so.
Today, we understand that Canada's working men and women need help, and we are going to provide it.

Mr. Speaker, I hope the NDP leader and all members of the House will help work with us to unblock Parliament and to get the support to Canadians that they need and deserve.
When it comes to the working Canadians rebate, we know that there are hard-working people across the country who have been through challenging times. We know that now is the time to provide them with extra support. I hope all MPs will join us in doing that.
Seniors November 25th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, I would like to start by clarifying one detail. I know that a lot of seniors are still working. Working seniors will receive the cheque.
I also want to say that I think we all understand that seniors 75 and over are more vulnerable. They need more help. That is why our government knows that we need to give them more support.
Seniors November 25th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, I take the Bloc Québécois's concerns about seniors very seriously. I take them seriously because our government shares those concerns.
That is why our government has done more to support seniors across Canada than any other federal government. This year, Canadian seniors will receive $48 billion in federal support. It is only fair, because they deserve it.
The Economy November 25th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, my message to the leader of the Conservatives is to be a little more economically literate. I guess he did not look at the recent GDP revisions, the upward revisions in GDP that show a good result for Canada in per capita GDP. They also show that Canada has not had a recession, contrary to the predictions of many people when there was the COVID recession. We have had a soft landing; that is something to celebrate.

Mr. Speaker, I am really glad the Leader of the Opposition started by comparing our economic position with the U.S., because the fact is, in Canada, inflation is lower. In Canada, interest rates are lower. In Canada, deficits are lower. In Canada, the public debt is lower. Let us stop talking Canada down.
When it comes to supporting Canadians, what I want to know is, will Conservative MPs be allowed to offer a tax break to their constituents? I know their constituents want it. That is what we are hearing from everyone.
Taxation November 25th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, here is the real question: Who is all talk and who is all action? Today, every member of this Parliament has the right and the obligation to help Canadians and Quebeckers with a small rebate and a bit of help.
My question is this: Will the Conservative members have the right to vote for their constituents?

Mr. Speaker, we will take no lessons from the weak Conservatives when it comes to standing up for the Canadian national interest. That is because we remember the 232 steel and aluminum interest that the U.S. imposed on us. When it did that, we retaliated. We had the guts to do that. What did the Conservatives say? They urged us to back down. They said retaliation was dumb.
The Conservatives would sell Canadian interests out again in a minute. We will never do that.
