Environment committee  They are also very costly in people's lives. I see how much these people are suffering. Doug Ford went to Constance Bay and said that something must be happening. Yes, something is happening and that is climate change. We must take action and tackle it. We must protect people. That is why we are investing in adaptation.

Environment committee  Thank you, Minister. Doug Ford is also cutting funding for flood prevention to our local conservation authorities in half. Organizations in Quinte, Lower Trent, Crowe Valley and Cataraqui play a pivotal role in protecting our regions from flooding, right in my riding and for Ontarians.

Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1  Our infrastructure investments do not stop there. Once again, we are stepping up while governments like the provincial government of Doug Ford are stepping out. In particular, we are investing $2.2 billion into the federal gas tax fund. That gas tax transfer is being doubled this year through this budget so that municipalities can commence much-needed infrastructure repair.

Official Languages  Post-secondary institutions play a crucial role in the vitality and enhancement of our official-language minority communities. Last November, Doug Ford's Conservatives launched a direct attack on the Canadian francophonie. We, on this side of the House, will always be willing to defend and promote the French fact across the country.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, it seems like the party opposite wants to “sticker” it to Canadians like Doug Ford, but let us talk about what we are doing. We are putting a price on pollution and giving it all back to Ontarians. What does that mean? It means 90% of the money goes right back to families.

Business of Supply  What did the Conservatives say? Nothing. Do they have a plan? No. What services will they cut? We know what Doug Ford is doing. He is cutting services for university students, making education less affordable for hard-working families in Ontario. That is the Conservative philosophy. That is what we have.

Foreign Lobbyist Transparency Act  We dealt with the Mario Cortellucci gang and the Adams Mine dump. Mario is back. He is best buddies with Doug Ford. He is attempting to build a massive garbage dump, shutting down public consultations with farmers, first nations and the miners, who all stood together against that project. Then they tried to bring in what was called the Bennett toxic waste incinerator, to bring in toxic waste from Mexico and the United States.

Federal Sustainable Development Act  It is interesting. Is it Stephen Harper? Some have made the suggestion today that it sounded more like Doug Ford was running the Conservative Party. Who is running the Conservative Party today? Is it Doug Ford? Is it Stephen Harper? Maybe it is Jason Kenney out in Alberta. Who is running the Conservative Party?

Official Languages committee  I have had discussions on many occasions with members of the community with a view to finding solutions and exerting pressure on Doug Ford’s Ontario government to make a decision on the matter. I have been able to discuss it on a number of occasions with a good number of former first ministers.

The Environment  The fact is that during the next federal election, Canadians are going to have a choice between a government that takes climate change seriously or Conservative politicians like the Leader of the Opposition or Doug Ford, who have buried their heads in the sand. It may be April Fool's Day, but the biggest joke on the Hill is their climate plan.

An Act Respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis Children, Youth and Families  It is a travesty when so many children are on the streets of Winnipeg because of the broken system in Manitoba. In Ontario, the Doug Ford government cancelled the child advocate's office, the one voice for the most marginalized children, speaking up for children who had been sexually or physically abused, children who had died in the system.

Transport committee  Gillis, you answered my colleague's question with regard to investing. Could you speak to how detrimental it is if Doug Ford's government, or any provincial government, doesn't come to the table?

Housing  One of the things that the party opposite fails to understand, and its promise shows this when it makes numbers that are global in nature in the same way that Doug Ford in Ontario delivers slogans about housing, is that when the members just say they are going to build a lot of housing, if they are not also simultaneously talking about repairing it, and at the same time subsidizing it and at the same time providing subsidies for housing, they are not actually building a housing system.

Carbon Pricing  I note in particular that everyone who has equity in this conversation, including the director of policy for former prime minister Stephen Harper, Doug Ford's chief budget adviser, The Economist magazine, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and virtually everyone who has taken a look at climate economics, says this is exactly the kind of thing we should be doing.

Human Resources committee  For low-income students, it helps really transcend that barrier that often is all about money. We see that conversation in the Conservatives run by Doug Ford in Ontario, who have dramatically reduced access to grants. There's an outcry from students, an outcry from employers, as a matter of fact, for this approach being wrong-headed—
