Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for the good question. It is very important for everyone to pay their fair share. I think that the Liberals do not have a good plan for recovering money from the wealthiest people. When we look at the measures the Liberals have taken when they

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I am glad to have an opportunity to speak to the budget bill, because I have a lot of concern about the budget. I will start with the amount of debt the government has added. The Prime Minister has added more debt to Canada than did all the prime ministers, togethe

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I would just point out to the minister that electric batteries are not the agriculture sector of Canada, which was my question. Let us turn, then, to something that interests me as the chair of status of women, where we have been studying unpaid work and obviously l

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, that was a great answer for the child care question, not. Let us move along, then. One of the files that I have has to do with the election. I noticed there was a section 91 change. This was something that came before the courts. Members will remember that in the pr

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I am very concerned about the amount of debt the government has racked up, $460 billion before budget 2021, which brought in another $101 billion. If we look at the debt of $30,000 that this has added to every Canadian, and I did the math, that is $250 a month, every

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I will be splitting my time with the member for Edmonton West, and I will be spending my time questioning the minister. The minister has described budget 2021 as a growth budget, and I want to begin with the oil and gas sector, which is quite important for my ridin

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I will expand it to the natural resources sector, because I did not see a lot in this budget for that, and it is 17% of our GDP. What are the measures and funding to spur growth in that sector?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I did not hear any funding for any growth in the natural resources sector, which is 17% of our GDP. Let us turn, then, to agriculture, which is 8% of our GDP. Can the minister talk about the funding and growth supports for agriculture?

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the seventh report of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, entitled “A Study on the Implementation of the Pay Equity Act”. Pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee requests that the governmen

Standing Orders of the House  Madam Speaker, I want to thank the member for Etobicoke North for bringing forward this motion. The member for Etobicoke North and I have a history of trying to help science in Canada, which began when I was elected in 2015 and was named the critic for science. At the time, she

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for all his hard work. I share his concern with this budget. There are a lot of things that have been promised time and again that have not shown up, and we are losing our ability to do things in the country. One of the things tha

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for all of her hard work on the status of women committee. I wonder what the member thinks about this budget in light of what it would and would not do for women in Canada and what is needed.

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I am the chair of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, and we have just done a study on unpaid work. Certainly child care has been a huge issue during the pandemic, and even before, and when I look at this budget, I see the government has $30 billion for it

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. It is pretty clear that the government is in a hurry to call an election in the middle of a pandemic. It introduced the bill in December, it has cut off the debate and now it wants to get the bill to committee. However, the Lib

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, it is clear to me that the Liberals are in a hurry to call an election while we are in a pandemic. The government introduced the bill in December, before the committee had completed its report. Now the government wants to send the bill to committee. However, the Li
