[Health, September 19th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Medical Association is worried about privatization in our health care system. It is worried about the real impacts of a dangerous shortage of frontline health care workers, family medicine and family health care workers. It is worried about specialist shortages and nurse shortages.

The Conservatives want to make people pay to receive health care, and the Liberals are too weak to stop them. Why are the Liberals letting the Conservatives force people to pay out of pocket to receive health care?

[Health, September 19th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Medical Association is deeply concerned about privatization. Thanks to years of cuts, Canadians are worried that there is a—

[Housing, September 17th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have continued to team up with the Conservatives to let grocery greed drive up the price of food, and that has to stop.

Yesterday, people showed that they are fed up with the Liberals. Clearly, this is because the Liberals worked with the Conservatives to let real estate moguls raise rents by more than 22%.

Why do the Liberals continue to work with the Conservatives to let the giants gouge people?

[Grocery Industry, September 17th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have let people down again and again, and they are done. That is clear from the results of the elections last night. The Liberals are done. Maybe it is because they keep teaming up with the Conservatives to let greedy CEOs continue to rip off Canadians. In fact, inflation numbers show that grocery greed has driven up food prices more than 21% in the past three years.

Why did the Liberals team up with the Conservatives to protect greedy CEOs from a price cap on food essentials?

[The Economy, June 19th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, once again, the Prime Minister is letting big corporations continue to rip off Canadians.

In our country, 25% of the population is living in poverty. The Prime Minister cannot even support the words “lowering prices for Canadians” in my bill.

I know the Prime Minister has not experienced the kind of challenges people are living through today, but how can he be so out of touch?

[The Economy, June 19th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, in this last week of Parliament, the Prime Minister showed us whose side he is really on. At a time when one in four Canadians is living in poverty, the out of touch Liberals voted against stronger penalties for corporations that are ripping off Canadians and against banning mergers that hurt people.

Why is the Prime Minister letting corporations rip off Canadians when one out of four is living in poverty?

[Democratic Institutions, June 18th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has known and has not taken action.

For three months, the Prime Minister has known about the allegations that parliamentarians are knowingly helping India and China. He thinks he is better than everyone else, but he has not taken action. As for the Conservative leader, he is hiding because he does not want to know the truth.

Why are these two leaders putting their own interests ahead of the national interest?

[Democratic Institutions, June 18th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, for three months, the Prime Minister has known about the serious allegations that parliamentarians are knowingly working with foreign governments to undermine our country, yet we do not know if he has had a single conversation with any member of his caucus. The Conservative Party leader does not even want to know about the serious allegations of foreign interference that directly impact his party. Why do both of these leaders put the interests of their parties ahead of the interests of our country?

[Indigenous Affairs, June 17th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, the Liberals only take action when New Democrats force them to.

It has been nine years since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada issued its report. The commissioners are sending a clear message today. The Liberals' progress is too slow. Every day that passes is another day without housing, clean water or justice.

Will the Prime Minister admit that if CEOs were the ones asking, he would not be dragging his feet?

[Indigenous Affairs, June 17th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, it has been nine long years since the truth and reconciliation report was released. The Prime Minister claimed that the indigenous communities were his most important relationship. Today, the commissioners say that progress is too slow. The Prime Minister has turned his back on indigenous people, and every broken promise means that indigenous people have to wait even longer for clean drinking water, for adequate housing, for health care and for the services they need for justice.

When will the Prime Minister stop turning his back on indigenous people?
