[Public Safety, January 25th, 2016]

Mr. Speaker, on Friday, Canadians were shocked and saddened by the news from La Loche, in Saskatchewan.

Could the Prime Minister update the House on any new situation with the issues that happened in La Loche?

[National Defence, December 10th, 2015]

Mr. Speaker, that will be cold comfort to people in Alberta who are facing Christmas without a job right now, but we look forward to the green jobs that the Prime Minister will create very shortly.

Let us remember that the refugees who are arriving tonight are fleeing from ISIS. Canada made the right decision to send our CF-18s as part of the global fight. The Liberal Party has demonstrated a total failure in leadership by stepping back.

If they will not show leadership, this Conservative Party will. Will the Prime Minister do the right thing and vote with us tonight and keep our CF-18s in the fight?

[The Economy, December 10th, 2015]

Mr. Speaker, in my home province of Alberta, people are worried. With dropping oil prices, tens of thousands of Albertans have lost their jobs. Now what has been the Prime Minister's response? Nothing. Not a mention to date. If it were the auto sector or the aerospace sector, the Liberals would be scrambling to help, but to the Prime Minister, I guess Albertans are just collateral damage.

Why is the Prime Minister turning his back on Albertans in their time of need?

[The Economy, December 10th, 2015]

Mr. Speaker, during the election, the Liberals promised to keep the deficit at $10 billion.

Unfortunately for taxpayers, that promise has already been broken. The Prime Minister cannot keep blaming others. He is the one in charge of spending now.

What is his new number, $20 billion, $30 billion, or $40 billion? How high will his deficit get?

[Democratic Reform, December 9th, 2015]

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister should be very careful in assuming that his election victory gives him a mandate and entitles him to make a change in the election system and our democracy. When the Prime Minister actually has a clear proposal for a new voting system, will he take it to the people and hold a referendum?

[Democratic Reform, December 9th, 2015]

Mr. Speaker, when we change the rules of democracy everyone gets a say.

Sixty per cent of Canadians did not vote for the Liberal Party. These millions and millions of Canadians who, as the Prime Minister said, he left in the dust get to have a say too.

Does the Prime Minister only listen to Canadians who voted for Liberals, or will he govern for all Canadians and hold a referendum?

[Democratic Reform, December 9th, 2015]

Mr. Speaker, during the election, the Liberal Party made a vague promise to change our election system. Changing the way that Canadians vote is a fundamental change to our democracy.

Will the Prime Minister hold a referendum and give all Canadians a say?

[Taxation, December 8th, 2015]

Mr. Speaker, it took barely a month for the Liberals to take an axe to the limits for tax-free savings accounts, but let us hear from an important voice when those limits were increased. “I think it's really quite a positive move for retirement security in general.” Who said that? Morneau Shepell, the Minister of Finance's own company.

On this side of the House, we could not agree with them more. Why does the Prime Minister not agree?

[Taxation, December 8th, 2015]

Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are imposing new limits on TFSAs because they believe that the wealthy are the only ones who use them, and they need that money to finance their massive expenditures.

What will they do next—eliminate TFSAs altogether?

[Taxation, December 8th, 2015]

Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Liberal Party put tax-free savings accounts on the chopping block. Over 11 million Canadians have invested their savings in this excellent program. Eighty per cent of them are low- and middle-income Canadians, including seniors.

We know the Prime Minister is in a mad scramble for cash, but why did he decide to take such a huge bite out of the savings of seniors?
