Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, if that were true, why is the NDP-Liberal government working so hard to cover up the documents that prove it wrong? It was only common-sense Conservatives who forced the NDP-Liberal government to reveal the truth. The Liberals tried to discredit our own budget watchdog, but it was revealed that they were hiding the true cost of their carbon tax with secret documents and gag orders.

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, let us test that hypothesis and call an election right now. After months of fighting the NDP-Liberal government just to get the facts, we finally got some of the documents. The government's own analysis on the carbon tax shows that Canadians will lose nearly $30 billion, costing families $1,800 each year.

Carbon Pricing  Yesterday, common-sense Conservatives forced the NDP-Liberal government to release some of the data that the government has been suppressing. It proves that the carbon tax costs every Canadian family nearly $2,000. The environment minister has misled Canadians.

Taxation  Madam Speaker, the NDP-Liberal government is at it again. Its job-killing economic vandalism knows no bounds. The government is sabotaging our economy by taxing farmers during a food crisis. Sylvain Charlebois, Canada's “Food Professor”, said, “to suggest that this change only affects a minimal number of Canadians I think is misleading.

National Canadian Seafood Day  Speaker, I listened intently to this great initiative of the member to recognize our important seafood industry. I am curious because, after nine years of the Liberal government, it seems to be the only positive thing that the government has done for the sector. We had produced a report in the fisheries committee that drew the attention of the government to the massive biological disaster that is happening in our ocean concerning seals, pinnipeds, walruses, sea lions on the west coast and seals in the east coast, gray seals in Nova Scotia.

Miscarriage of Justice Review Commission Act (David and Joyce Milgaard's Law)  Speaker, the bill, as amended from committee, is now a significant departure from what was presented by the minister's predecessor, former minister Lametti, on the miscarriage of justice bill. Originally, when the bill was presented by former minister Lametti, he noted: It is important to note that the miscarriage of justice review process is not an alternative to the justice system, nor is it another level of appeal.

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, the government only does the right thing when it gets caught. The Liberals only disclosed the information because Conservatives forced them to. The NDP–Liberal government put a gag order on the Parliamentary Budget Officer because it did not want Canadians to know the economic cost of the carbon tax.

Carbon Tax  Canadians are exhausted by the Liberal government's doublespeak. They know what we know; that the carbon tax costs Canadians billions of dollars. Why does the Prime Minister continue to stand by his radical environment minister instead of standing up for Canadians?

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  On the housing file, the government has spent $89 billion on its national housing strategy. Never has so much been spent to accomplish so little. I mentioned in my speech that the government, in 2022, built fewer homes than the former government did in 1972.

Questions on the Order Paper  Mr. Speaker, in response to part (a), developing and maintaining good-quality Canada-wide data on how plastic moves through the economy is necessary to transition towards a circular economy in Canada. The federal plastics registry, the registry, will provide critical data that will identify opportunities for the government to take further action to reduce plastic waste and pollution, as well as help monitor progress over time.

Questions on the Order Paper  Mr. Speaker, the following reflects a consolidated response approved on behalf of Global Affairs Canada ministers. Since 2014, Canada has sanctioned over 3,000 entities and individuals in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Moldova and imposed numerous other measures in the financial, trade of goods and services, energy and transport sectors.

Taxation  Madam Speaker, let us review the Conservatives' record. In 2015, when our government proposed to raise taxes on the wealthiest 1% and cut them for everyone else, the Conservatives voted against it. When our government implemented carbon pricing that put more money in eight out of 10 families' pockets, ensuring everyone but the wealthiest were better off, the Conservatives voted against it.

Miscarriage of Justice Review Commission Act (David and Joyce Milgaard's Law)  Mr. Speaker, I would say that if the member supports the U.K. commission model, then he should get behind this bill. We are moving away from a model that arrives on my desk to a model that has a commission, which is the first point. The second point is that we are informed by the study that was done by former Justice LaForme and former dean of law, Juanita Westmoreland-Traoré.

Carbon Pricing  We asked that carpenters, plumbers, small businesses, seniors all be excluded. They said no to all of that. We now have the proof. When will the Liberal Bloc stop picking the pockets of the middle class to pay for the centralizing wasteful spending of the massive federal Liberal government?

The Environment  Madam Speaker, yesterday, we took a major step toward launching Canada's 2030 nature strategy by introducing Bill C-73, the nature accountability act, in the House. Canada is the second country in the world to do so. The bill would hold our government and future governments accountable in making progress on our ambitious nature protection goals.
