Housing  Speaker, unlike Conservatives, who have been treating home ownership like a casino, we put in place a foreign buyers ban so that foreign speculators no longer price out hard-working Canadian families. Unlike the Conservatives, we are working with MPs in the GTA to use public lands for affordable homes and not for the profits of the highest bidders, and our plan for tax fairness is asking wealthier Canadians to pay a bit more so we can build more homes faster.

Housing  Patry knows full well what is needed: social housing, and the sooner the better. Thousands of people just like him are no longer able to put a roof over their heads. What does the Minister of Housing have to say to all the people like Mr. Patry across Quebec and Canada?

Status of Women committee  They have mistakenly placed higher emphasis on the potential harm that early screening may cause rather than the life-saving benefits. Breast cancer is a disease that has a far-reaching impact. The brutal harm of a late-stage diagnosis is significantly more severe than the potential harm of undergoing additional imaging. The outdated study from the 1980s, which the task force continues to use to make its guidelines, comprises a population that is 98% white women.

Canadian Heritage  This seems to be a running theme with Crown corporations. Letting artists be artists is no longer an option, I guess. The government has to tell them who to be, what to think, how to express themselves and on what topics. They need to adhere to a certain format and fit into certain boxes at all times.

Taxation  He purchased an investment property in 1986 that was supposed to be his retirement. Now, because of the Liberals' increase in capital gains, he no longer has enough money to retire. The Liberals claim they want tax fairness for every generation. How is destroying the retirement of Canadians fair?

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Nine out of 10 are paying more taxes than they were before this Prime Minister took office. Middle-class young people can no longer own a home, and 76% of them believe they never will. In addition, more people are using food banks than ever before in our history. Canada has had the worst GDP growth of the G7 since 2015, and the decline continues even now.

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  When will the Liberals finally consult with those living with disabilities? When will they ensure that people living with disabilities are no longer legislated into poverty?

Business of Supply  Unfortunately, the other three parties rejected the idea out of hand. For purely ideological reasons, those people no longer want us to use cars. They want us to travel by bike, through bike paths or whatever, even though they know perfectly well that we do not have the infrastructure.

Transport committee  You talked about pilot shortages, and you talked about capacity. If you have to fly four flights to replace the one jet that no longer can fly into a gravel runway, you need four times the crew. You talked about $140,000 to train a pilot. Often the small rural or regional airlines train the pilots, who are then immediately poached to the more profitable bigger airlines.

Finance committee  What we've seen, including from the economics department, is that we have taken more of an advocacy role in the policy space as well, weighing into looking at some of these issues, some of the numbers, in terms of that longer-term trajectory that we're on and looking for policy solutions that benefit all Canadians, because a thriving economy is good for Canadians and it's good for banks.

Finance committee  What happened during the pandemic was that the stress spread out across Canada. Now you can arguably say that what we have is a national housing crisis. It's no longer a localized one. Fundamentally, as was said before, it is an imbalance between demand and supply. The supply side has been unable to adjust or respond quickly enough to the very strong demand we've had over the last many years.

Status of Women committee  Historically, that may have been true, but every year we're achieving advances in systemic therapy of breast cancer, where that's no longer the case. Even in the worst actor of triple negative breast cancer, where even a small subcentimetre node-negative tumour gets chemotherapy, one that's larger than two centimetres or has lymph node involvement will have immunotherapy and a more aggressive chemotherapy.

Finance committee  That market psychology drove prices well in excess of underlying income, interest rate and demographic fundamentals, which we think are the root of house prices in the longer term. Higher interest rates have since broken that psychology and have pulled prices down by 20% or more in some markets, but affordability won't necessarily improve until rates fall further, prices fall further or incomes are allowed to gradually catch up over time.

Transport committee  There are, of course, good reasons for charging some of those fees, but when the companies we compete with can sell tickets for half price, because they offer fewer of them, the market is no longer competitive. As I was saying, there's a certain irony involved in subsidizing ticket purchases. We're saying we're going to use taxpayers' money to subsidize the purchase of tickets that consumers otherwise can't afford so they can pay $500 for a ticket.

Finance committee  The first part is that we saw it coming, and we developed a regulatory guideline on third party risk management, which should help the banks we regulate manage new relationships that will come as a result of open banking. Longer term, we have to be watchful that, if those new players do decide to innovate beyond their immediate business model, which is to enable, effectively, customers to own their own banking data, and move from that model to one that involves taking deposits and making loans, they do that in a regulated space.
