[Housing, September 16th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, $13 billion for 4,000 homes is $3.2 million per home. That is not affordable.

It is all starting to make sense where this scheme was cooked up. The Liberals have a housing minister who oversaw the doubling of rent and the doubling of housing prices when he was mayor of Vancouver. The head of the new agency came from the City of Toronto, which increased the cost of building by 700%. It is almost like the interview process for these positions asked, “Are they incompetent? Were they fired from their last job?”

Once again, for the sake of Canadians begging to buy a home, can the minister please tell me this is not the plan?

[Housing, September 16th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister promised he would double housing starts; he looked Canadians in the face and promised. Starts are down 16%. His plan is a $13- billion bureaucracy that might someday build 4,000 homes. Canada had 245,000 new home starts last year. Even if they hit 4,000 homes, it is a 1.6% increase.

Please, for the sake of Canadians trying to buy a house, can the minister tell me this is not the plan?

[Government Priorities, June 20th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, what the member just said is completely misleading to the Canadian public. The Parliamentary Budget Officer has said this big tax cut is actually going to deliver $15 a month. That is not transformational. That is not going to build anything. The average Canadian can buy a couple of coffees at Starbucks for $15 a month, so it is all talk and no action, realistically, from the government.

The Prime Minister has broken four promises in four weeks of being the Prime Minister. That is not leadership. That is not transformational. That is misleading the Canadian public. Is “misleading the Canadian public” the new mantra for the “new government”?

[Public Safety, June 19th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, I do not know what is worse, the minister for crime reduction blaming the provinces for enforcing bad bail laws or the justice minister making witty statements like “extortion is illegal”. Anyone with a fifth grade education or higher knows that.

The problem is that extortion is up 357%, and violent extortionists get out on bail almost the next day. That is the problem, not that extortion is illegal. Everyone knows that.

The real question is this: Are the Liberals actually going to do something? The minister is saying they will do something in the fall, so it is a summer of free crime. Canadians need changes now. Will the Liberals do it, yes or no?

[Citizenship Act, June 19th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, his interruption of the member for Battle River—Crowfoot was not fictional. He just suggested that I was making up fiction. He actually did interrupt him. My question was whether or not he is going to apologize—

[Citizenship Act, June 19th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, I am just wondering if the member is going to take some time in his speech to apologize to the member for Battle River—Crowfoot for interrupting his speech in Parliament yesterday, when he was—

[Business of Supply, June 17th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, I wish they had talked to someone. I would say that we had a great trip out there. We met with the great unionized steelworkers and others who build this country from coast to coast. I do not think the Liberals talked to anyone, because when we look at the facts that I have pointed out repeatedly, we see that they do not have a plan. They need a plan for the fundamental aspects of making a zero-emission vehicle for Canadians to actually be able to drive and charge, and they have no plan for that. As I say, this is 100% Liberal ideology over reality.
