Public Services and Procurement June 11th, 2025
Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have no foresight, and they do not care about their exorbitant budgetary spending.
After 10 years of unacceptable and avoidable delays, we are now facing the real possibility that Canada will not have operational fighter jets. We know that our CF‑18s will reach the end of their useful life in 2032 and that the delivery date for our F‑35s is uncertain.
How is it that the Liberals keep spending money but can never deliver?
National Defence June 10th, 2025
Mr. Speaker, it is hard for me to find the words to describe how badly mismanaged the F-35 procurement process has been. Costs are skyrocketing. The cost is now nearly $30 billion. There is a shortage of pilots and technicians. This has been discussed since 2018. The construction of the facilities is behind schedule and the completion date is now 2031.
This government is always behind schedule. Is that deliberate or due to incompetence?
National Defence June 10th, 2025
Mr. Speaker, we know how things work on the other side: incompetence gets rewarded.
Today's Auditor General's report reveals that the budget for our F‑35s has increased by 50% more than anticipated. The initial project costs submitted by National Defence in 2022 were based on 2019 data. Additionally, the construction of infrastructure for the F‑35s in Bagotville and Cold Lake is three years behind schedule.
Why are the Liberals incapable of meeting deadlines and avoiding cost overruns?
National Defence June 9th, 2025
Mr. Speaker, after 10 years of Liberal rule, our fighter jets are at the end of their service life, our ships are outdated and our troops are exhausted. We are short 13,000 troops. Recruitment and morale among our military personnel have never been lower. Over the past decade, the Liberals have slashed $12 billion from defence and cut the military budget. The Liberals have turned their backs on our armed forces.
How can the government responsible for this fiasco claim to be improving it?
Steel and Aluminum Industry June 5th, 2025
Mr. Speaker, the aluminum tariffs imposed by President Trump are unjustified. It is an attack on our economy and on workers in that industry. The Saguenay—Lac‑Saint‑Jean region has four aluminum smelters that account for 32% of Canadian aluminum production.
The Prime Minister told us that he was the man for this situation and that he had a plan, but the reality is that the tariffs have gotten worse.
What is he going to do to protect the workers in Saguenay?
Steel and Aluminum Industry June 4th, 2025
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister was elected on a promise to Canadians that he would stand up to President Trump. He also said that he was the right man for the job in a trade war situation. Aluminum is a major sector in Saguenay, and it has been hit with an unjustified 50% tariff. We know the Liberals. They say things, but they cannot keep their promises.
Was the Prime Minister's entire election campaign nothing but a political performance?
Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada June 2nd, 2025
Mr. Speaker, many Canadians voted for the Prime Minister because they thought he would stand up to President Trump, but he did away with countertariffs on American products in short order. He also said he would be more fiscally responsible, but his spending estimates are even bigger than those of his predecessor. He talks like a Conservative, but governs like Justin Trudeau. He says one thing, then does the opposite.
When will the Prime Minister stop talking out of both sides of his mouth?
Canada-U.S. Relations June 2nd, 2025
Mr. Speaker, aluminum workers in our Saguenay region are very concerned. The Prime Minister promised Canadians that he would stand up to the Americans and their tariffs, yet President Trump is once again threatening to impose a 50% increase. Meanwhile, the Liberal government has reduced tariffs on American products to almost zero, but the Prime Minister assured us that the government would take in $20 billion.
Can our workers in Saguenay find out how much the Prime Minister has gotten from countertariffs so far?
Natural Resources May 28th, 2025
Mr. Speaker, throughout the campaign, the Prime Minister tried to convince everyone that he was open to new energy projects, but he never clearly said that he plans to repeal the law stemming from Bill C-69, a Liberal anti-development law that would scrap the GNL Québec project. The majority of Quebeckers want pipelines. The people of Saguenay want GNL Québec. We need it to reduce our dependence on the United States.
Will the Prime Minister listen to the people in the Quebec regions and repeal Bill C-69?
Finance December 17th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has lost the confidence of his ministers, his MPs and Canadians.
As if the $40‑billion anchor were not enough, he hits us with a $62‑billion debt in his economic statement. Canadians are paying more in interest on the debt than for health transfers. He is desperately hanging onto power. Enough is enough.
When will there be an election?
