Housing  Mr. Speaker, I am glad to get up to talk again about Kelowna, which is getting $31.5 million for 20,000 homes over the next 10 years. How did the member vote? He voted against it. Time and time again, the Conservatives stand in this place and vote against getting housing built in

Housing  Mr. Speaker, everyone in this country has a right to housing, and it is unacceptable that any Canadians are sleeping out in the cold. That is why we have doubled funding to help communities tackle homelessness. We recently announced $100 million to help protect the most vulnerab

Foreign Affairs  Madam Speaker, once again, we are appalled by the alarming reports of the brutal and targeted sexual violence and gender-based violence perpetrated by Hamas on October 7, 2023, and call for rigorous investigation, prioritizing the rights, needs and safety of those affected. UN Wo

Foreign Affairs  Madam Speaker, I appreciate the question and follow-up from the hon. member. She is right that what occurred was absolutely horrific. I will reiterate what the government has stated, that we are all appalled by the alarming reports of brutal and targeted sexual and gender-based

Housing  Madam Speaker, it is quite the contrary. The government has made historic investments in transit infrastructure. Though my prepared remarks and the question were originally based on housing, I am happy to have a conversation with the hon. member on the transit investments not o

Housing  Madam Speaker, it is interesting that the hon. member would get up to criticize a member for reading from notes, when she was holding a note in her own hand and reading from it; unfortunately that is what we are dealing with tonight. She did have a very good question on housing,

Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act  Madam Speaker, here we are again, another debate where the basis of the Conservative argument is that it should be free to pollute in this country, and that the most challenging crisis that we face, the one that will impact Canadians the most, especially in their pocketbooks, is

Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act  Madam Speaker, the hon. member across the way is accusing me of lying, and that is truly unfortunate. They can look that up themselves.

Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act  Madam Speaker, it just goes to show that, when confronted with the reality that food prices are going up in jurisdictions that do not have a price on pollution, the cognitive dissonance that exists on that side with respect to the science on the issue is loud and clear. It is tru

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, during my speech I debated the ideas that the hon. member brought forward, but I did not—

Business of Supply  He is heckling and trying to shout me down, Madam Speaker. I debated the ideas and questioned the stances he took with respect to policy. I did not question his education in terms of his qualifications as a lawyer or a prosecutor. I personally abide by the rules of professional

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, just to clarify, I did directly answer the question of the member for Nunavut when she said that Toronto members were doing nothing about this. I stood up for Toronto members, as that was insulting to them. It is debate. I just responded that the member should spea

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I appreciate the comment. I do think we can walk and chew gum at the same time, perhaps myself not always so well. The government is addressing these things. The government is focused on poverty. It is focused on gangs. It is focused on finding activities for youn

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for Nunavut for her concern about southern Ontario. The members of the Toronto caucus have been very vocal and, again, have been behind many of the items and legislation the Liberal government has brought forward. I know the C

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the member for Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo is laughing while he is heckling. He thinks this is a funny joke, which is what he just said. It is truly a disappointing and unserious party, the Conservative Party of Canada. We are going to get action done. We are takin
