The Budget  Mr. Speaker, my colleague is a distinguished economist who knows that it is important for everyone to work together to take care of Canadians, including Quebeckers, who are struggling these days. That is why I am sure he will be pleased with the $6 billion invested in Quebec over

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, I already answered that question once today. I am delighted to answer it again. The member knows full well that internal investigations into this matter have been under way for some time. She also knows that the Auditor General's report is now known and that importa

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, as our colleague from public safety has made clear repeatedly over the last few minutes, this is a matter under investigation, both internally and by the RCMP. It would be totally inappropriate for politicians anywhere in the House to try to pretend they would be bet

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, my colleague talks about affordable housing. Six affordable housing units were built during the entirety of the Conservative leader's term as minister responsible for housing. That was during his entire term and for the entire country. In just that member's riding,

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, our colleague is absolutely right, it is not after, it is right now that this is happening. In Quebec, 8,000 housing units are being built through the exceptional partnership between the Canadian and the Quebec governments. Indeed, 8,000 affordable housing units is t

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, eight out of 10 families receive more from the carbon rebate than they pay on the carbon price. The reason is that all of the proceeds from the carbon price are sent back to Canadians. Wealthier families pay more so that low-income and middle-class families get more.

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, one, two, three, four, five, six; six is the number of affordable housing units that the Conservative leader created across all of Canada over his entire term as minister responsible for housing. It is hard to talk about empathy and the Conservative leader in the sam

Finance  Mr. Speaker, when the Conservative leader was the minister responsible for housing, he built six affordable housing units across the entire country during his entire term. Municipalities in Quebec are building 8,000 housing units with the help of the Canadian government. If we d

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, “insulting” is indeed the key word. Quebec municipalities were insulted by being called incompetent. They are creating 8,000 affordable housing units with the support of the Canadian government and the co-operation of the Quebec government, while the Conservative le

Finance  Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives have always wanted to reduce taxes for the wealthiest Canadians and make life more difficult for everyone else, for the middle class and people with lower incomes. That is what they have always voted for. That includes voting against the Canada chi

Finance  Mr. Speaker, my esteemed colleague is putting “homes” and “Leader of the Opposition” in the same sentence. What it means, when we put the two together, is six affordable housing units built across the country during the entire term when the Leader of the Opposition, who is also

Housing  Mr. Speaker, one, two, three, four, five, six. That is the number of affordable housing units built by the insulting Conservative leader when he was the minister responsible for housing. There are several projects in my colleague's riding of Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, taking care of Canadians is exactly what we need to do, on this side of the House, certainly, through proper management of procurement exercises with the types of things and measures that we have announced in the last few weeks and months but also looking after the n

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, I have already answered this question in English. I can provide a similar answer in French. Taking care of Canadians is exactly what we are doing, while ensuring that the Canadian government's procurement system is efficient, fair and transparent, based on the new

Housing  Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to see that my colleague knows that we are indeed doing much more than his Conservative leader, his insulting leader, did during his term as housing minister. I would like to highlight another project in his riding, in addition to the one he mentio
