The Budget   that? With this budget, instead of restoring that promise for our citizens, the Liberals are sending a clear message to millennials, to zoomers and to everyone else left behind, saying that it's tough luck and that they should have been born sooner or in better circumstances. However, Canadians, both

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, we are not doing the same thing over and over again. If the member looks at it, starting back in 2016, we made a historical investment, and we continue to do that. We also introduced partnerships with the provinces and territories. When it became clear that we

Here is the problem with this proposal and the reason the NDP will be voting against Bill C-381: The evidence is clear that mandatory minimums are not effective as a deterrent. As a tool

He also has a very clear plan to eliminate any sort of public health response to the overdose crisis. In fact, he cited indigenous peoples and our traditions as the way forward

Agriculture committee  Yes. I think it was just for the record that some of our colleagues were raising that concern. The motion is clear. However, again, I want to make it clear that the way I read the motion is that I'm not absolutely reporting back to the House. First and foremost, there has

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, first of all, it will be up to Quebeckers to decide who represents them in the next election, as they have done in every other election. That is how it works. We set a very clear criterion to determine whether we vote with or against the government: When

I would add that they are at risk of collapsing, while the federal government's fiscal room will increase considerably. This continued interference has led

Agriculture committee  The principle and first clause of the bill are very clear. They completely prohibit the export of horses for slaughter. Unfortunately, based on the advice of the procedural clerks, I think the amendment exceeds the principle of the bill. That's the advice. I was asking

Agriculture committee   for your amendment, Mr. Perron. As with Mr. Barlow's amendment, your amendment would make it possible to include a provision regarding the export of horses, with conditions. The opinion from the procedural clerks is very clear: The amendment exceeds the scope of Bill C‑355. As I

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. We do have an amendment on clause 4. I think everybody has the amendment in front of them. It was quite clear from the testimony of most of the witnesses who spoke as part of the study for this proposed legislation that the end use of the animals going

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, the member talks about the F-35. “We wanted the F-35 when Stephen Harper was the prime minister”, is what he was saying, “but it is not our fault; it is the Liberal Party's fault. It did not allow us to buy the F-35s.” Now the Liberals are in government. We voted

The coroner's inquest, which was held in my home riding of Saskatoon West, by the way, was clear on the point.
