Public Accounts committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I do want to thank all the witnesses for being present today on this important discussion.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I sleep very well at night knowing that New Democrats are in this place fighting for regular Canadians while the Bloc continues to stop support for even the people of Quebec. Shame. I also want to note that the Conservatives will not rise once to ask about

Finance committee  : cost-of-living issues, raises in interest rates. People are regularly talking about these things. The conversation we are having is an important conversation in terms of technical details, but it's really out of grasp for regular Canadians. I want to ask you very directly, in plain

Business of Supply   in rebates.
