Agriculture committee  We need better land use policies to save the number one, two, three and four agriculture lands, which a farmer can make a living on; but the five, six, and seven, which he cannot make a living on, maybe that's where we need to put the houses. I know it's a pull-and-shove here. We need housing. I was talking to Doug Ford the other day. He said, “We're going to support agriculture.” Then he turns around and says, “We're going to open up the greenbelts to build more houses.” It's a crisis. We won't need crop protection materials, and we won't need labour.

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022  Speaker, I know there was some discussion about rights, and I heard my Liberal colleague across the way questioning the Conservatives on why they are staying silent while Doug Ford takes away the rights of workers. I found it peculiar that my Liberal colleague asked that considering the government forced postal workers back to work. The member for Carleton has stayed silent, and I am wondering if the Conservatives support their buddy Doug Ford taking workers' rights away?

Extension of Sitting Hours and Conduct of Extended Proceedings  Madam Speaker, that is crazy disinformation. We saw Doug Ford after court cases had clearly indicated that he could not use the notwithstanding clause to impede labour rights in this country, and not a single Conservative stood up against that.

Extension of Sitting Hours and Conduct of Extended Proceedings  What is in the Constitution, which I want to point out to my Conservative colleagues, is the right of Canadians to have representation and to join labour unions and the right of those unions to strike. This is what I wanted to tell my Conservative colleagues about. Doug Ford's actions in Ontario were contrary to the Constitution. He used the notwithstanding clause when it had already been ruled out—

Extension of Sitting Hours and Conduct of Extended Proceedings  Madam Speaker, I rise on a question of relevance. What does Doug Ford's use of the Constitution Act have to do with anything?

Extension of Sitting Hours and Conduct of Extended Proceedings  If the Conservatives were really concerned about the Canadian Constitution, they should have stood up against Doug Ford. They should have stood up against what was happening in Ontario. However, to stand up on constitutional grounds for MPs working evenings is a bit rich. I did a little more research as well.

International Trade committee  I note that with the change of government in Ontario in 2018, a very substantial EV tax credit was eliminated entirely by the incoming administration of Doug Ford. Would you agree that this was a step backwards in incentivizing not only the purchase of electric vehicles, but also the supplemental supports, such as the charging infrastructure?

Request for Emergency Debate  Doug Ford is absolutely a liar. He is lying about the impacts that it has—

Taxation  The fact is, his constituents are concerned about the impacts of climate change. His constituents were disappointed when Premier Doug Ford cancelled cap and trade, and his constituents were relieved when the federal government stepped in with supports. I just got off the phone with a constituent who had valid questions about the price on pollution.

Environment committee  We just signed with them, so we're working there. We're also working with the City of Windsor and with Doug Ford to ensure that we're allowing big projects to come through the Three Fires Confederacy territory, as we have a special table set with Doug Ford and seven ministers. As you know, we have a lot of Hydro battery storage.

Citizenship Act  I will be honest in saying that I stand here today with a heavy heart as a Canadian citizen, one day after, in my home province of Ontario, those rights were taken away from hard-working education workers by the invocation of the notwithstanding clause in back-to-work legislation by the provincial government, led by Premier Doug Ford. That is not the country my parents wanted to come to, where rights, in such a cavalier manner, could be taken away by the majority members of a Parliament. Rights are sacrosanct. They should always be protected.

Canadian Workers  Today, I want to share my absolute solidarity with the 55,000 education workers and CUPE members, who are fighting back against Doug Ford. He, like all Conservatives, claimed to stand up for working people until he got into power and started attacking them. The looming threat of austerity is something we must also oppose.

Birthday Congratulations  Madam Speaker, I rise in solidarity with the tens of thousands of Ontarians who are protesting Doug Ford's blatant attack on their charter rights through the notwithstanding clause.

Education Workers in Ontario  Madam Speaker, the Conservatives who are heckling me should know that there have been nine premiers of Ontario since the charter was adopted and the availability of this last resort clause, which effectively strips those rights, was established. Doug Ford is the only premier to have ever used it, and he has now done so twice. Even more egregious is that this time he is doing so in a pre-emptive manner, unwilling to even allow the court to weigh in before using it.

Oil and Gas Industry  Speaker, there have been consultations and if you seek it, I believe you will find consent for the following motion: That, this House (a) reject any intervention aimed at restricting the collective rights of workers to freely negotiate their working conditions; and (b) condemn the use of the notwithstanding clause to destroy collective bargaining rights by Conservative Premier Doug Ford and the Government of Ontario.
