Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1   to see minimum wage raised to $15 I am disappointed, once again, that the wealthy are given a free ticket while regular Canadians are expected to pick up the tab.

Finance committee  . Should the government's priorities be different, and should they be focused much more on regular Canadians and on working families across the country?

Canada Revenue Agency   payments, stock buybacks and big executive bonuses. The Liberals have gone after regular Canadians, the victims of CERB fraud, demanding the victims pay for the criminals. It is shameful. Will the Liberals make the ultrarich, those companies and CEOs who misused these funds, pay

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1   assets. Regular Canadians, especially those who are middle- and lower-income, are those who most often face the most significant consequences from inflation. Does the member opposite share those concerns about the circumstances that would see growth in the inflation rate in our

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1   this pandemic with the current government, which has allowed the ultrarich to benefit, to profit and to profiteer in an unprecedented way and refuses even to ask them to pay their fair share of taxes. There is another country in this tale of two countries, and that is regular Canadians who

Industry committee   they are doing. I also ask the members to submit to the clerk as soon as possible your requested witnesses for the next study. I wanted to also mention this. It came up during the presentations today that regular Canadians cannot participate in committee. I want to debunk that. Canadians

Finance committee   borrowed dollars. Without a budget and a plan, no regular Canadian is able to borrow a dime. This government just seems so out of touch that it doesn't think those rules apply to it, and honestly, I have a tremendously hard time voting for Bill C-14 as is. Although Canadians continue

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, Conservatives support common-sense measures to stop gun violence. The Liberal government claims to, but its actions show that it would rather criminalize regular Canadians than get tough on real criminals. Right now, it is moving to confiscate legally purchased guns

National Defence committee   in the chain of command. I understand that the chief of the defence staff is a Governor in Council appointment. In other words, it's not a regular Canadian Armed Forces promotion. It's my understanding that the minister can't appoint or remove a chief of the defence staff. What can you

Canada-United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement Implementation Act   not have an impact on the ground for regular Canadians, it has a significant impact.

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Madam Speaker, while Canadians struggle, billions of dollars in COVID-19 funding have been spent by profitable corporations on dividend payments, executive bonuses and stock buybacks.

Broadcasting Act   of fairness. Michael Geist is not one of those regular Canadians who the elitist government looks down upon. He is a Canadian academic. In fact, he is the Canada research chair in Internet and e-commerce law at the University of Ottawa and a member of the Centre for Law, Technology

Fall Economic Statement  . It is not matched by any boldness to actually support regular Canadians at this stage in the pandemic. We are well aware of what the member for Burnaby South did. The entire NDP caucus stepped up with a series of proposals that we knew would make a difference in the lives of Canadians

Environment committee   a $55,000 vehicle—would be considered a luxury vehicle by most Canadians, and I think it's a fair question to ask whether regular Canadian taxpayers should be subsidizing the purchase of luxury vehicles for people who are fully prepared to pay full price for them. I would suggest

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2020   couches it in terms of consumers having the right to ask for their data to be moved from one organization to another. It seems like a really great thing, but I cannot think of too many situations in which a regular Canadian would be the person initiating that conversation. However, I
