[Canada-U.S. Relations, June 2nd, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, it does not matter what Liberal stands up to answer a question. Whether it is in this Parliament or the last Parliament, they never actually answer a question. It is not complicated, as “elbows up” was dollar-for-dollar tariffs.

Has the Prime Minister already broken his promise to steelworkers or was “elbows up” simply fake news? Now we are facing the Trump tariffs, and steelworkers from coast to coast to coast are in serious jeopardy of losing their jobs. It is a simple question: How much money from these “elbows up” tariffs have they generated?

[Canada-U.S. Relations, June 2nd, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister ran on “elbows up”, promising dollar-for-dollar tariffs on the U.S. and that this would generate $20 billion in revenue. It turns out it was actually elbows down when the Prime Minister broke his promise and secretly cancelled those tariffs. Now Trump is threatening 50% tariffs on Canadian steel, which will devastate Canada's steel industry and put thousands of steelworkers out of their jobs.

Can the Prime Minister look steelworkers in the eye, tell them it was actually elbows down and how much money his tariffs will actually generate?

[Committees of the House, December 17th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, I am so glad the NDP member brought up selling out. What we are seeing in this country right now is the NDP leader selling out Canadians for his pension. The NDP is getting its just desserts on that. With 12%, they almost did not get their rebate in the by-election that just happened in British Columbia. The NDP leader is continually bowing down to the Liberal Prime Minister, repeatedly propping him up in the face of all his corruption and everything he has done to destroy this country. Every once in a while, NDP members puff up and say they are against this or against that. However, when push comes to shove, they sell out every single time to prop up the corrupt, incompetent, out-of-control, radical Liberal government. He should be ashamed of himself.

[Committees of the House, December 17th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, I do not know what controversial views he is talking about. What I do know is this: She got 66% of the vote, crushing the Liberals by 50%. Every member in the Liberal caucus now knows their seat is in danger. They have lost elections in Toronto and Montreal, and they have now been destroyed in British Columbia. The other thing that is concerning for the NDP is that it got 12% in British Columbia. The chickens are coming home to roost for an NDP leader who pathetically and continuously supports the corrupt, woke Liberal government. They are getting served what they deserve in British Columbia, and they will when there is a carbon tax election as well.

[Committees of the House, December 17th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, it is simple. They tried to put a carbon tax in a trade agreement for the first time ever. It was desperate and pathetic; we voted against a bad trade agreement. To get back to the point at hand, on softwood lumber, nine billion dollars' worth of duties have now been collected by the United States and tens of thousands of workers are out of work. Moreover, the person who chairs the Canada cabinet committee for Canada-United States relations just resigned, saying that the government is engaging in election gimmicks.

At a time when we are facing 25% tariffs from the incoming president of the United States and a nine-year dispute on softwood lumber going nowhere, their incompetence is unrivalled in terms of this file. The only question I really have is this: Why is the NDP still supporting the terrible government, especially after getting crushed in B.C. with 12% in this by-election?

[Committees of the House, December 17th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, of course, the NDP, for their continued cowardly support of the woke Prime Minister, got 12% of the vote. The costly coalition is delivering devastating electoral results for the government.

[Committees of the House, December 17th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, I can understand why Liberals do not want to talk about the absolute thrashing they took in British Columbia, where softwood lumber is the big issue that the committee reported. The people of British Columbia have delivered their judgment on the corrupt, woke, incompetent Prime Minister with a resounding victory in Cloverdale—Langley City by Tamara Jansen by 50% of the vote. The NDP was reduced to 12% with their—

[Committees of the House, December 17th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, I move that the second report of the Standing Committee on International Trade, presented on Thursday, October 27, 2022, be concurred in.

I will be splitting my time with the member for Bay of Quinte.

This report, from October 2022, is on the softwood lumber dispute. Two years later, absolutely nothing has been accomplished by the incompetent Liberal government, which is now mired in even deeper chaos after the events of yesterday. Therefore, its chance of being resolved any time soon is a distant memory.

In fact, last night, the people of B.C. had an opportunity to pass judgment on the corrupt, incompetent Liberal government and its handling of the softwood lumber file. Tamara Jansen won Cloverdale—Langley City by a whopping 50%. She did not have 50% of the vote; she won by 50%.

[Points of Order, December 16th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, today, the regular proceedings were interrupted for an order. It is a mandatory order. There are different kinds. The language could have said “may.” That is permissive language, and if the order had said “may”, you would have had discretion as to how to proceed. The proceedings were interrupted in the face of a specific order. The order says, “the Speaker shall interrupt the proceedings to permit the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance to make a statement followed by a period of up to 10 minutes”.

If the government chose not to use its time to make a statement, that is its problem. You are bound by a mandatory order to now give us the opportunity that is set out in the motion. It is not permissive, and it not optional. It is mandatory, and we, as opposition members, expect you to follow and enforce your mandatory order.

[Privilege, December 16th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, we have seen that the former deputy prime minister and finance minister has no confidence in the Prime Minister and the government; somehow, the NDP seems to have more confidence in the Liberal government than she does. Does the member have any insight into that?
