Economic and Fiscal Update Implementation Act, 2021  Mr. Speaker, at least from my perspective, I am not sure the member is properly attired in the House.

Economic and Fiscal Update Implementation Act, 2021  Mr. Speaker, I welcome my hon. colleague for Kitchener Centre to the House of Commons. I am going to gut-check him here. I know it is his first time being elected to the House of Commons, and he will find out that when he presents misinformation to the House, and some of us her

Economic and Fiscal Update Implementation Act, 2021  Madam Speaker, I want to ask my good friend from Kings—Hants about some of the statistics he quoted, including the one about the best debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7.

Economic and Fiscal Update Implementation Act, 2021  Mr. Speaker, I really enjoyed the speech of my colleague from Winnipeg.

Economic and Fiscal Update Implementation Act, 2021  Mr. Speaker, Mr. Siddall, the former head of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, did accept and did hire Generation Squeeze to give him this report.

Economic and Fiscal Update Implementation Act, 2021  Mr. Speaker, I think I understand most of what my colleague said. It is important to see what kinds of buildings are being built in Canada right now. Do the condos we are building meet the population’s current needs?

Economic and Fiscal Update Implementation Act, 2021  Mr. Speaker, the member is an excellent colleague on the finance committee and he comes up with some great proposals going forward.

Economic and Fiscal Update Implementation Act, 2021  Mr. Speaker, if I left the impression that it was for anything other than what he described, I am remiss and I apologize. If that is the way he took those remarks and if I misspoke in that respect, he is exactly right. It would be for foreign money that is coming into Canadian pr

Economic and Fiscal Update Implementation Act, 2021  Mr. Speaker, as I rise today, February 2, in the House, I want to pay homage and respect to my party leader, who resigned today from being party leader of the official opposition. Being in the job of party leader in an opposition party is an incredibly difficult job, and he has d

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, I got tweaked by the member's statement. The question I would have for her is about her reference to subsidies for oil and gas.
