Business of Supply  These are three payments during the year and then people files their taxes. The Canada workers benefit is a great way to lift low-income workers, hard-working Canadians, out of poverty and give them extra money during the year and at the end of the year to pay for necessities. As we also announced in the 2023 fall economic statement, we are going to amend the Competition Act to further modernize merger reviews, including by empowering the Competition Bureau to better detect and address “killer acquisitions” and other anti-competitive mergers.

Carbon Pricing  Rather than talking about axing the tax, Conservatives should be talking about axing the rebate and taking money out of the pockets of hard-working Canadians.

Carbon Tax  We are facing a cost of living crisis like never seen before, with tent cities popping up across our communities and homelessness increasing. More and more hard-working Canadians are now relying on food banks, but instead of axing the carbon tax to lower food prices, this panicking Prime Minister spent the weekend begging his senators to kill this bill.

Environment committee  The environment minister has jetted off to Dubai, leaving Canadians behind in the cold. This hypocrisy is astounding. Minister Guilbeault has no shame in punishing hard-working Canadians with a costly carbon tax. He has no shame with increasing the cost of gas for the mother who drives her kids to hockey practice.

Minister Guilbeault has no shame in punishing hard-working Canadians with a costly carbon tax. He has no shame with increasing the cost of gas for the mother who drives her kids to hockey practice. He has no shame with increasing the cost of groceries or taxing the farmer who grows the food.

Environment committee  This is about Liberal-appointed senators trying to delay and, from their perspective, hopefully kill Bill C-234 because of the money it's going to leave in the pockets of our hard-working Canadian farmers and the fact that it's going to cause political headaches. I don't understand Senate procedural aspects. I have no idea how the retabling of an amendment that was already voted down in the House of Commons is permissible; however, I will leave that to the senators to decide.

Agriculture committee  To do that, you have to make some money to employ people, to give them pay raises, to invest in Canadian stores and Canadian warehouses, to support, in our case, the 939 communities that we're in, to pay dividends to hard-working Canadians and their pension plans, and to pay taxes. Paying taxes is important. When we weren't successful.... When I came on in 2017, we were struggling mightily. It's a tough, competitive, low-margin, high-capital business: a small stumble, and you're heading toward unprofitability.

Natural Resources committee  Genuis is speaking about me, as the MP for the beautiful and wonderful riding of Vaughan—Woodbridge. I would love for the committee to turn its attention to the millions of hard-working Canadian workers who would benefit—

Automotive Industry  He is shipping taxpayer money to a Dutch company that is going to employ Korean foreign workers. This is another slap in the face to hard-working Canadians who are struggling after eight years of the current government. The Liberals cannot get their story straight on how many foreign jobs the $15 billion is buying, so why not release the contracts for Canadians to see for themselves?

Carbon Tax  These are the largest single-year increases ever recorded by Ontario's food bank network. However, the Conservatives' Bill C-234 would create a carbon tax carve-out for hard-working Canadian farmers and would make food prices more affordable for Canadians. The Prime Minister's activist environment minister has promised to resign if this bill passes, which would be a welcome early Christmas gift for Canadians.

Business of Supply  The intimidation imposed by the member of Parliament and the Liberal-NDP government on hard-working Canadians is insufferable. Therefore, the question is this. Who is being intimidated?

Canada Labour Code  The strife is undoubtedly being fuelled by the spiralling cost of living crisis in this country, which is a direct result of the NDP-Liberal government's inflationary deficits and taxes. The costly coalition has made life more difficult for hard-working Canadians, and paycheques are not going nearly as far as they once were. We know the carbon tax is increasing the cost of everything. Food prices have gone up year after year, housing costs have doubled and mortgages have gone up by 150% since the Liberals took office.

Taxation  Why are Liberals opposing the world's efforts for tax fairness and choosing to stand with billionaires instead of with hard-working Canadians?

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  In fact, recently, we have seen mergers in this country that mean there will be less competition. The people who pay when there is less competition are always the hard-working Canadians. What we need to see is more legislation like the leader of the NDP brought forward, to make sure we have teeth in these processes to make a difference for everyday Canadians.

Automotive Industry  Instead, these incompetent, arrogant Liberals are giving the jobs to 1,600 Koreans. Will the minister promise right now that the jobs will go to hard-working Canadians, not workers from any other country, including Korea?
