Mr. Speaker, it is country first, party second.
According to the RCMP, the Indian government hired thugs to terrorize Canadians.

Grocery Industry October 10th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, did I just hear Galen Weston speaking?
According to the Bank of Canada, people are increasingly relying on their credit cards to pay for their rent and groceries. Jennifer Smith, a Toronto woman, told CBC, “It's a scary situation to be in, but I'd rather miss a couple of payments and damage my credit, than not have a house, or fed kids.” That is life under a Liberal government.
What will it take for the Liberals to wake up?
Grocery Industry October 10th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, get this: A new study, recently released, shows that 94% of Canadians are worried about the high cost of groceries. With Thanksgiving coming around the corner, they are worried that greedy CEOs are going to rip them off when they go grocery shopping. I get why the Conservatives voted against our plan to lower grocery prices; their chief strategist is a chief lobbyist for none other than Loblaw.
However, why did the Liberals vote against making sure we lower prices for Canadians? Why do they let greedy CEOs rip off Canadians?
Indigenous Affairs October 9th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, the minister's excuses are way cheaper than rent.
Shamattawa First Nation has had undrinkable water since 2018, and the Liberal government is fighting it in court, arguing that it does not have a legal responsibility to clean the water. The government is also arguing that, when a minister says something, it is just politics and not something we have to believe the government would actually do.
Will the Liberals call off the lawyers and clean up the water?
Housing October 9th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, members will not believe this. Corporate landlords are using AI technology to rip off renters and then jacking up rents. The United States is taking legal action against this, but the Liberals are letting it happen here in Canada. I know that the Conservatives do not care because their chief adviser is also a chief lobbyist for corporate landlords. What is the Liberals' excuse?
Housing October 2nd, 2024
Mr. Speaker, the Conservative leader's chief adviser is also the chief lobbyist for corporate landlords, but what is the Prime Minister's excuse? For decades, Liberals and Conservatives have failed to ensure that indigenous communities have safe and affordable places to call home. Now over 300,000 indigenous people live in unsuitable housing.
For the Prime Minister, it is delay, delay, delay. When will he realize that he is failing indigenous people?
Housing October 2nd, 2024
Mr. Speaker, New Democrats believe in lower rents, not higher. When the Conservatives were in power, they let big, greedy corporations buy up affordable homes and convert them into luxury cash cows. They allowed that to happen over 800,000 times. I will ban it. The Prime Minister has allowed it to happen over 370,000 times. Every single time that happens, it means a family gets evicted. It means rents go up. Why?
Situation in Lebanon and Israel October 1st, 2024
Mr. Speaker, I am deeply concerned for families in Lebanon who are fleeing for their lives, already rocked by death and grief as Netanyahu's extremist government pushes a ground offensive. I am distressed for families in Israel who have had to deal with rockets and missiles launched by Iran and Hezbollah, which is clearly a terrorist group, as recognized by Canadian law. I am heartbroken for Gaza and Palestinians, who are currently undergoing daily horror from Netanyahu's extremist government. However, the Liberal government has failed to take action. It has failed to impose a two-way arms embargo. It failed to impose strict sanctions on Netanyahu's war cabinet.
Why has the government failed to take action and do its part to stop the escalation of conflict in the region?
Health September 25th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has the power to stop them, but is too weak to do it.
The Conservatives want to make cuts to health care. When the Conservative leader and Stephen Harper were in power, they made almost $44 billion in cuts. The Conservatives want to privatize health care, just like Doug Ford and Danielle Smith.
Why is the Prime Minister letting them get away with it?
Health September 25th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, privatizing health care means telling people to either pay up or go to the back of the line. Danielle Smith is privatizing health care in Alberta right now, and the Prime Minister is doing nothing about it. Doug Ford is privatizing health care in Ontario, and the Prime Minister praises him.
Why is the weak Prime Minister letting Conservatives tear down our health care system?
