Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, it is always interesting to hear the struggles of the people in the north. I wonder if my colleague could expand on what the need for housing is there and how this budget misses the mark.

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, the member is right. There are a lot of problems in this budget with regard to areas of provincial jurisdiction. I am thinking of things like child care, dental care and school food programs. What is the government thinking? How can it implement these programs in

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, the Governor of the Bank of Canada has said that pouring more deficit spending is like pouring more gas on the inflationary fire, but this budget pours another $40 billion on. Could the member describe the impacts of that to people across the country?

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, for each of the flawed programs that have been introduced in this budget, the government seems to not understand the reality. Let us talk about the dental care program, for which the government will cover 70%. For people who cannot afford dental care, and let us sa

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I do see some irony in the fact that the budget bill is called Bill C-69, because one might remember that the last Bill C-69 ended up being ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court because the federal government was sticking its nose into provincial jurisdiction.

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, the member is from Quebec. He knows that Quebec already has a pharmacare program. Would he rather have a program run by the federal government or by Quebec?

Pharmacare Act  Mr. Speaker, you certainly have given lots of advice on people not impugning other members with motives. I think the member has gone quite far enough, and I would ask if you could return her to the theme of today.

Pharmacare Act  Mr. Speaker, by now, Canadians are used to broken promises from the Liberals. In 2015, members will remember that they were going to make housing affordable, and now housing prices, mortgages and rents have doubled. They also promised the last election under first-past-the-post,

Pharmacare Act  Mr. Speaker, when I studied pharmacare at the health committee, we heard from the Parliamentary Budget Officer and multiple stakeholders that 95% of Canadians already have prescription medication coverage, and most of them are covered for 15,000 drugs, not two, like this lame bil

Pharmacare Act  Madam Speaker, I studied the pharmacare system when I served on the Standing Committee on Health. The Liberals did not do anything until they introduced this bill. The Quebec system has a list of drugs, a formulary, and I think it is the best system in the country. What does the

Wedding Anniversary  Mr. Speaker, today is May 6. Exactly two years ago to the day, at a David Wilcox concert, I met the love of my life, my husband Paul. He is wonderfully intelligent, wonderfully humorous, wonderfully loving and wonderfully tall. From the day we met, he has brought joy to my life

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I agree with the member opposite that it was very disappointing to see what happened with the Canada disability benefit. It certainly was not what the community was asking for. Would he not also agree that everything else the Liberals are delivering is disappoint

Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to address Bill C-380, a private member's bill from my friend and colleague, the member for Saskatoon—University, with the very important aim of repealing the government's irresponsible and senseless ban on single-use plastics. This deba

The Budget  Madam Speaker, my colleague's financial acumen is renowned in our party. What does he think is missing from this budget that he would like to see?

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, six years ago, all parties in the House voted to designate the IRGC a terrorist organization. Today, during the debate, I am hearing parties saying the same thing, except the government. Clearly, the comments today suggest that people do not want a terrorist organ
