Taxation April 16th, 2026
Mr. Speaker, that Conservative leader and House leader questioning our Prime Minister's economic education and experience is like a third-line beer league hockey player questioning Connor McGregor's hockey skills.
On this side of the House, we are focused on affordability for Canadians. We paused the excise tax. We cut the consumer carbon tax.
It is time for that party, that leader and that House leader to get off the bench and support our measures.
The Economy April 15th, 2026
Mr. Speaker, yes indeed, yesterday we paused and suspended the excise tax on fuel, which is 10¢. We cut the consumer carbon tax. That is another 18¢, which is 28¢ in total. We cut taxes for 22 million Canadians. The groceries and essentials benefit is $1,900 per family this year and $1,400 per family for the next four years.
On this side of the House, we are going to continue to focus on bringing costs down for Canadians and making life more affordable for Canadians. The members on that side continue with the rhymes and the rhetoric.
Taxation April 15th, 2026
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Sarnia—Lambton—Bkejwanong for that great question and for her determination to do what is right for Canada.
Yesterday, the Prime Minister announced that we will be suspending the excise tax on gasoline and diesel, meaning Canadians will save 10¢ per litre on gasoline, putting more money in Canadians' pockets as they face higher gas prices and global uncertainty. On this side of the House, we are focused on making life more affordable for Canadians. The other side continues with the rhetoric.

Mr. Speaker, while that leader continues his podcast tour, on this side of the House we are going to continue to focus on affordability for Canadians.
Just this morning our Prime Minister announced a pause to the federal excise tax of 10¢ a litre. Combining that with the cut in the consumer carbon tax, that is 28¢ a litre in savings that goes back into Canadians' pockets.
On this side of the House, we are going to continue to focus on affordability. We are going to continue to deliver that for Canadians.
Taxation April 13th, 2026
Mr. Speaker, I think it is pretty clear that Canadians from coast to coast to coast and members in this House are gravitating to our Prime Minister's leadership and his vision for Canada. We continue to make life more affordable for Canadians by cutting taxes, with the groceries and essentials benefit, the automatic federal benefits and the list goes on.
On this side of the House, we are going to continue to focus on affordability. It is time for that leader to get back in this House and help us build a strong Canada.
Taxation April 13th, 2026
Mr. Speaker, on this side of the House, we are going to continue to focus on making life more affordable for Canadians. We just launched a groceries and essentials benefit, putting up to $1,900 in the pockets of working families. We cut the taxes for 22 million Canadians. We cut the consumer carbon tax and the GST for first-time homebuyers.
It is time for that leader and that party to focus on affordability for Canadians like we are.
Taxation March 26th, 2026
Mr. Speaker, we are getting the same question after question from that side of the House. The only thing that changes on that side is leaders. They have had six of them in the past 10 years. It is probably soon to be seven.
On this side of the House, we are focused on affordability. We have cut taxes for 22 million Canadians. We have introduced the groceries and essentials benefit, which is going to put up to $1,900 in the pockets of working families.
On this side of the House, we are going to continue to focus on affordability. They can focus on changing leaders time after time.
The Economy March 25th, 2026
Mr. Speaker, when it comes to the economy, the leader opposite is missing in action. The member is a good man. I respect his faith very much. On this side of the House, we are focused on building a strong economy, the strongest economy in the G7. We are investing in nation-building projects, like Port Saint John in my riding. We have invested hundreds of millions of dollars that will employ thousands of people. What about the Sisson mine, a nation-building project, a major project, in the member's riding, which will employ thousands of people?
On this side of the House, we are serious about building a strong economy. The other side simply is not.
Taxation March 25th, 2026
Mr. Speaker, I do not know where that member has been, but on this side of the House, we are going to continue to focus on affordability for Canadians. We cut taxes for 22 million Canadians. We cut the GST for first-time homebuyers. We cut the consumer carbon tax. On this side, we are going to continue to focus on and build the strongest economy in the G7. It is time for that party, that leader and that member to stop the obstruction and stop the rhetoric.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship March 24th, 2026
Mr. Speaker, we are not going to take advice on jobs and the economy from a leader who has never worked one day in it. On this side of the House, we are going to continue to build the strongest economy in the G7. At home, we have cut taxes for 22 million Canadians. Abroad, we are signing new trade deals. Diversifying markets will result in thousands of jobs and tens of billions of dollars in investment.
It is time for that leader and that party to stop the same questions, the same rhetoric, and help us build Canada strong.
