Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I know that the member was in the House earlier in the debate when a Conservative colleague stood up and tried to glowingly suggest that Stephen Harper had actually balanced a budget in 2015.

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I found it very interesting that the member asked what Kraft Dinner has to do with Ukraine.

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, the member spoke a lot about carbon tax. Can he explain to the House the difference between this carbon tax that we have in place now versus the one that he ran on in 2021?

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, the member asked a rhetorical question: Who would vote against putting food into the mouths of children? Who would vote against a national school food program? I will tell her that it is the exact same people who get up every day and talk about the struggles of peopl

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I listened to that last exchange between my colleague and the member for Saanich—Gulf Islands, and she said that she thought it was important to have a national school food program. This budget would provide for that, so obviously she supports that element of it. I

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I listened to the member's entire speech, and the one thing I just cannot wrap my head around is how she can accuse government spending and government investing in Canadians through our budget of being inflationary. Conservatives have been saying for months now that

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, would the parliamentary secretary agree with me that, if Conservatives spent more attention on making lives better for Canadians instead of on what Tim Hortons coffee cups lids are made out of or on the plant-based options Häagen-Dazs is offering, if they had the k

Privilege  Madam Speaker, I am rising on a point of order to respond to the question of privilege raised by the member for Simcoe North on May 8, respecting the government's response to Order Paper Question No. 2221 and the testimony of the Department of Finance on the subject matter of Bil

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I will have a chat with the member for St. Catharines later about that. My question for the member is as follows.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I request a recorded division.

National Strategy to Reduce Food Waste and Combat Food Insecurity  Madam Speaker, on a point of order, I believe if you seek it, you will find unanimous consent to see the clock at midnight so that we can adjourn.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I request a recorded vote.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I believe if you seek it, you can find unanimous consent to see the clock at 1:30 p.m., to start Private Members' Business.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Mr. Speaker, on the issue of the carbon tax, I would like to hear what the member's thoughts are specifically as they relate to the over 400 Canadian economists who have signed an open letter stating that more people get back more than they pay, confirming what the Parliamentary

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Mr. Speaker, I have a brief question.
