Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, while the member was asking his question, I was looking for the Liberals' plan to balance the budget or how many times they have done so. I obviously could not find anything, and I will remind the member that it was the Prime Minister who thought budgets would bala

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, my colleague says, “Don't hold your breath”, and I will not. Let us put this back into the context of why we brought forward this motion in the first place. It is because of a looming crisis that could take place in this country if the Liberal-NDP government does

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I want to start by congratulating my good friend, the passionate member for King—Vaughan for her incredible speech. She is a great advocate for her community, Canadians are going through housing hell right now. Nine out of 10 young people say they have lost the d

Finance  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of failed Liberal-NDP policies, the finance minister experiences inflation much differently than everyday Canadians. Her enormous inflationary deficits led to 40-year highs in inflation that caused the Bank of Canada interest rates to go up, more t

Finance  Mr. Speaker, the finance minister is known for speeding up, just for the wrong reasons. By adding more debt than every government before them combined, she put the pedal to the metal on her deficits and revved up inflation. Unlike on an Alberta highway, the consequence of her sp

Housing  Mr. Speaker, Canadians should not have believed the finance minister when she said to borrow as much as one wants and that interest rates will be low for a very long time. She turned around and threw hundreds of billions of dollars of fuel onto the inflationary fire, giving Cana

Housing  Mr. Speaker, the rating she brags about came at the high cost of one in five Canadians skipping meals and seven million Canadians visiting a food bank in a single month. She is completely out of touch, but she is in line with her incompetent government's legacy. The finance minis

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I have great respect for my hon. colleague, and I think we do some great work on the finance committee. I will say that included in this motion is the fact that it is too bad that the Bloc teamed up with the costly Liberal-NDP coalition and was okay with slamming

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to remind my colleague that it was just a few months ago that the great people of Alberta re-elected once again a strong majority Conservative government provincially, rejecting the out-of-control, out-of-touch, ideological, left NDP. I will also remi

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the member is completely out of touch. He is out of touch with the farmers whom his government continues to attack with this carbon tax, which has actually driven up the cost of everything. When farmers are driving tractors on their farms, they are hit with the car

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, before I start, I would like to inform you that I am splitting my time with my very eloquent and passionate advocate and colleague from Mégantic—L'Érable. It was all a scam. The carbon tax was sold when a bumper sticker should have been slapped on that said, “Not

Housing  Mr. Speaker, anyone who took out a five-year, $500,000 variable rate mortgage in 2021 is now paying up to $24,000 more in interest a year. This is around the time the finance minister was telling everyone to borrow as much as they wanted because interest rates would be low for a

Housing  Mr. Speaker, so the minister who was responsible for breaking immigration is now responsible for breaking housing even further in this country. I have built more homes than the members of the Liberal government combined have, so I would know a bit more about doing this. The fina

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Madam Speaker, I do not know if the member is launching his bid for provincial politics. Once the good people of Timmins—James Bay fire him in the next election for his party supporting the corrupt and inept Liberal government, he is not going to have a job anymore. It is because

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Madam Speaker, I must acknowledge that I am still jealous of the member for Bow River's mustache. He is absolutely right. I come from the construction industry where many people, including newcomers, get started. There is one consensus in that industry, which is that, just like
