Budget Implementation Act, 2017, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I thank my tireless colleague for the question. He has an excellent attendance record in the House. Unfortunately, inequality is reaching an all-time high in Canada. Over the past 30 years, Canadian workers have helped grow our economy by more than 50%. Productivity

Budget Implementation Act, 2017, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Louis-Saint-Laurent for his question. My answer is simple. I am absolutely outraged that a finance minister can make money off of bills introduced in the House. I am outraged that he is trying to get out of a scandal by writing a big, fat $5

Budget Implementation Act, 2017, No. 2  I thank the member from Drummond for his support, which has allowed me to have a drink of water. Today, we must debate the budget implementation bill. There are many things we could talk about. Let me go back to the last election. The Liberals told us that interest rates were lo

Budget Implementation Act, 2017, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I will continue in the same vein as my Conservative colleagues. I was not so much surprised as offended when I heard that the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner had fined the Minister of Finance for breaking the rules by forgetting to declare his villa in

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, the scandal surrounding the Minister of Finance has become the Prime Minister's kryptonite. The minister introduced a rotten bill, Bill C-27, which made shares in his company, Morneau Shepell, go up. When the minister was caught red-handed making money while in a co

Yukon Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment Act  Mr. Speaker I thank my colleague from Yukon for his question and correction. His comment is interesting. Indeed, while stakeholders were unanimous in their opposition to Bill S-6 at the time, in this case, restoring what was needed and demanded by people in Yukon and by several

Yukon Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. I would say yes, time management is important in conducting an environmental assessment, but in our opinion, we must take the time needed to conduct a proper environmental assessment. It is arbitrary to want to limit any envir

Yukon Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment Act  Mr. Speaker, I would ask for unanimous consent to split my time with the hon. member for Hamilton Centre.

Yukon Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment Act  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleagues. I can confirm that I will be splitting my time with my extraordinary colleague, the hon. member for Hamilton Centre. I stand today as a New Democrat to speak in favour of Bill C-10, even if there is much to criticize about what

Yukon Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment Act  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her speech. I would like to ask her a simple question about the fact that most Yukoners seem to support the environmental assessment process that was developed over the years. That process had been developed in Yukon, for Yuko

Yukon Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank the minister for her speech, and I applaud the government's commitment to fixing what the old Conservative government broke. While this is a step in the right direction, there is still room for improvement, and the government can do even more. I have a quote

Fall Economic Statement  Mr. Speaker, I want to quote the finance minister from his speech a few minutes ago when he said that we will continue “investing in ourselves”. I think the finance minister should choose his words with a little more caution. If he is desperately trying to change the channel from

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, while the finance minister is desperate to change the channel by performing some magic tricks, Canadians understand that he has used public policy for his own advantage. Bill C-27 is not only bad legislation and an attack against good pension plans, it is also very g

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, Liberals are the government. The Liberals bumped up their economic update in a desperate attempt to sidestep a scandal, but no one is fooled. The Minister of Finance introduced a bill that directly benefits his company. He was supposed to put his company in a blind

Ethics  A good Liberal can never admit he is wrong, Mr. Speaker. I am sure that the finance minister desperately wants to change the channel and he will try again tomorrow with the economic update. He has broken any trust that Canadians could have had in him. It is crystal clear. He tab
