Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I am terribly upset by the incompetence of the government and the growing backlog of cases at Service Canada. Again, I challenge that member. If she is as upset with the government's incompetence, the government's deception and the terrible job the government is doing, will she vote against the budget implementation act?

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I am glad I was able to catch your eye and participate in the debate today, following my good friend the member for Foothills. There is a disconnection between everything the government has said about fiscal restraint and the numbers contained in the budget this bill promises to implement.

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  The member can read our declaration. It is pretty clear.

Housing  Madam Speaker, after eight years under the Prime Minister, Canadians cannot afford a place to live. What do the Liberals have to show for the $90 billion they have committed to housing? Mortgages have doubled. Rents have doubled. It is $2,500 a month for a couple to rent one room in a townhouse.

An Act for the Substantive Equality of Canada's Official Languages  Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise to speak on this bill. The member rises to speak to every bill. He began his speech by apologizing for his inability to address the House in French. I wonder if he could have maybe not spoken, and let the member for Mount Royal or the member for Lac-Saint-Louis participate in this debate, because it would be great to hear their views on this bill.

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. We clearly do not have quorum.

Liberal Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, this government will shamelessly announce anything, but it always fails to implement anything other than, say, higher taxes, deficits, inflation and now higher emissions. Yesterday, we learned that this Liberal government has broken another one of its election promises.

The Budget  Madam Speaker, I thought we should get a ruling from you. I think this is at least the third time the member has spoken to the budget. Perhaps another member would like a turn. Members can only speak at each stage—

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, we usually hear from only two or three members over there when we are debating legislation, so it is nice to have a different voice. I wonder what the member's constituents have to say about a promise the government made when the Liberals won in 2015. They distinguished themselves from both the Conservatives and the NDP by promising to run deficits.

Taxation  Madam Speaker, the budget still allows the automatic tax increase to take place tonight on beer, wine and spirits. Under this Liberal government, simple pleasures like enjoying beer with friends after work or a bottle of wine over dinner with a loved one have become unaffordable luxuries for working Canadians.

Taxation  Madam Speaker, we are in the middle of an affordability crisis. Any tax increase is too much. The tax was too high to begin with. There is no room for any more tax. The budget adds $4,200 in new costs for every Canadian family, more spending, more taxes, more debt. That means more inflation.

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, we know this bill has been an absolute disaster in how it was managed through the House. It was introduced in the previous Parliament, and the Liberals called an election, so they were the ones who killed Bill C-10. It was brought back as Bill C-11. It did not include the critical exemption that critics from the Green Party, as well as other critics out there and Conservatives, pointed out was a real problem.

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, with all due respect to that response, he did not answer the previous question. Why did they not include the amendment? It would have made it all clear, and there would have been much less for people to object to in this bill had they accepted that amendment.

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, I rise on the same point of order. By all means, I am sure you have a responsibility to look into the issue that was raised. I am not sure what happened, but nobody really appreciates a tattler or the extent to which the member piled it on there. I think we can be more reasonable about these issues.

Motion No. 2—Senate Amendments to Bill C-11  Madam Speaker, there is no doubt that the bill is a disaster. Liberals have been flailing away with it for months. They tried it in the last Parliament. They steadfastly refuse to exempt user-uploaded content. It has been to the Senate; indeed, as the minister said in his remarks, the Senate spent a record amount of time debating this bill because it is a disaster.
