Mr. Speaker, it was a surplus confirmed by the finance minister's own department in its final report.
While Canadians are tightening their belts across this country, the Prime Minister clearly has a spending problem.
Can the Prime Minister tell us just how much more debt is he going to pile onto Canadians?
Finance February 17th, 2016
Mr. Speaker, let me turn to another flawed Liberal plan. In just 100 days the Prime Minister has burned through the Conservative surplus that he inherited.
National Defence February 17th, 2016
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is wrong when he says his plan to deal with ISIS reflects Canadian values because it only reflects the values that he picks and chooses.
Canadians value standing with our traditional allies. Canadians value helping the vulnerable and the threatened. Canadians value showing true resolve against a brutal enemy. Fighting for these values has always been proudly Canadian.
Why is the Prime Minister choosing to cast these Canadian values aside?
National Defence February 17th, 2016
Mr. Speaker, Canada has always stood up for the most vulnerable, for innocent people under attack for nothing more than their beliefs.
In the past, we have joined those fights with every tool at our disposal. By pulling our CF-18s out of the fight against ISIS, we signal to our allies, and to the world, that we will only do so much to fight terror.
Why is the Prime Minister stepping back when he should be stepping up the fight on terror?
National Defence February 17th, 2016
Mr. Speaker, after question period, the House will debate a Liberal motion to pull Canada out of the fight against ISIS. It is shameful that our allies will have to fight without us. Our fighter jets will no longer be eliminating ISIS targets.
How can the Prime Minister withdraw from this fight and leave the combat mission to others?
Foreign Affairs February 16th, 2016
Mr. Speaker, training is helpful, but it is not fighting. The Prime Minister has taken us out of the fight against ISIS.
Hamas, a listed terrorist group, was found using UNRWA schools and hospitals in Gaza to store rockets and weapons designed to kill Israeli citizens, yet the Prime Minister has planned $15 million in new funding for UNRWA.
Even worse, UNRWA staff have been suspended and fired after inciting anti-Semitic violence.
Why is the Prime Minister restoring funding to an organization that has been linked to Hamas?
National Defence February 16th, 2016
Mr. Speaker, training and diplomacy and humanitarian efforts are important, but they are not fighting. The Prime Minister thinks the only reason the Royal Canadian Air Force was fighting ISIS terrorists was that, as he said, Canada was whipping out our CF-18s to see how big they were.
He just does not get it. In this world, there are times when military action is necessary and fighting is necessary, but he has taken us out of that fight.
If he will not fight terrorists, just when will he ever fight?
National Defence February 16th, 2016
Mr. Speaker, for the last year, our fighter jets have brought the fight to ISIS because it is the right thing to do, and it is still right thing to do. Why? It is because ISIS is still enslaving women and children; it is still throwing gays and lesbians off rooftops; it is still murdering anyone who has a different belief system.
The fight against ISIS is a just fight, but the Prime Minister is taking us out of the fight against ISIS.
If he will not fight terrorists, just when will he ever fight?
Natural Resources February 4th, 2016
Mr. Speaker, here is the problem. The Prime Minister already has a record of blocking job-creating energy projects. Northern gateway was approved with 204 conditions, but then the Prime Minister killed it with his unilateral transportation ban off the west coast, so that is his record.
It would do a lot more for investor confidence and public confidence if the government would stand behind its own process.
I ask again, if new projects get through this new process, will they be approved by the Liberal government, yes or no?
Natural Resources February 4th, 2016
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, in Edmonton, the Prime Minister was asked a very direct question. His response, or his non-response, was very troubling, troubling to every resource worker who is laid off and all of their families that are worrying about where their next paycheque will come from.
The Prime Minister could not bring himself to say yes yesterday, so I am going to ask him here one more time. If job-creating energy projects get through his new process at the National Energy Board, will the Liberal cabinet also approve them, yes or no?
