Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  The NDP-Liberals are spending billions that will not fix the problem. The NDP-Liberals are making us more unsafe while Canadians are going without food, heat or houses. I have said it before and members have heard me say it a lot: The NDP-Liberals are not worth the cost.

Electoral Participation Act  At second reading, we look at the principle of a bill and determine whether the principle of the bill is one that we want to support or not. The principle of what the government is trying to do is that it is looking for cover to delay the election; I think it is quite evident. The principle is that Liberals, the member for Kingston and the Islands and others, are reluctant to face the judgment of the electorate.

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, from COVID-19 to natural disasters and for their excellent work in Europe, our brave men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces have always been there for Canadians. It is our job to make sure that members of our forces and their families are well supported. That is why I have accepted all of the ombudsman's recommendations to transform and modernize our military grievance system.

Veterans Affairs  Speaker, between 2010 and 2020, 191 Canadian military personnel died by suicide. Instead of addressing mental health challenges, Liberal and Conservative governments have cut funding, putting veterans at risk. The Burns Way is ready to provide more trained, peer-to-peer support to our brave veterans, particularly for indigenous and 2SLGBTQIA+ veterans.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, do those members know what is profiting from all the work of this government and all the members in the House? It is record investment in green technologies in our country. We rank number one, ahead of China, for the battery ecosystem in the country and have more—

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, I have more to say for the sleepy Conservatives. On this side of the House, we know what we are doing. Thanks to the work of this government, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Environment and the Prime Minister, we have seen record investment in our country.

Taxation  Shaughn, a 20-year veteran planning to retire next year, is gutted that he will have to put that off, given the Liberal government's punitive policy on capital gains. It was not enough for the Prime Minister to leave veterans high and dry because they were asking for more than he could give. Now, despite Shaughn's decades of service and prudent planning for his retirement, the Prime Minister wants to take even more, so my question is this: How is that fair?

Carbon Pricing  Speaker, more Canadians are struggling to feed their families, and 25% of Canadians are living in poverty. The Liberals can spin this a hundred different ways, but Canadians know the truth. First, the government punished Canadians with the carbon tax. Now, it is imposing a job-killing tax hike on the people who produce and provide the services we need to survive.

Grocery Industry  Mr. Speaker, we did not only choose the people of Nova Scotia, we chose all Canadians when we called all the CEOs of the grocery chains to come to explain themselves in Ottawa, to answer to this government and to answer to Canadians. We have introduced one of the most comprehensive reforms on competition because we want more choice, less consolidation and more competition.

Air Transportation  These costs affect northern communities super hard, because flying is often the only option for people there. The government's response has been crickets. Whether it is grocery chains, oil and gas companies or airlines, the Liberals seem perfectly fine with corporations gouging Canadians. Why is that?

Indigenous Affairs  Mr. Speaker, June is National Indigenous History Month. It is time to reflect on the legacy and impacts of colonialism, and work together toward a better future. This is top of mind for the 12,000 first nations and non-indigenous residents who live in the Weeneebayko region in northern Ontario.

Seniors  Mr. Speaker, community organizations have been working hard to present and develop projects under this national program. Seniors need these projects, which involve things like delivering meals and helping with transportation. We are working on solutions with Quebec because we want to make sure that community organizations get the money they need to help seniors.

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  The government said that it would give them green hydrogen, but we are years away from that being a reality. We have a proven commodity that we could be using and could be exporting, and the Liberals have said no to that.

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, all parliamentarians in the House know how important it is to protect our democracy from foreign interference. That is why we have been working together, whether it is on the national security committee of parliamentarians that we created over the objections of the Conservative Party, through strengthened mechanisms within our national security universe or through election interference monitoring by top public servants.

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, our government has taken a series of measures to hold the murderous Iranian regime to account. We have consistently set and taken measures, including under immigration legislation. We have listed the Revolutionary Guards Quds Force as being a terrorist entity. We take advice from national security agencies in listings, and we think that hon. members should allow that process to take place.
