Carbon pricing. Madam Speaker, speaking of people who are out of touch, they are providing a very clear illustration of that this morning. I invite the government and the Bloc Québécois to go to Beauce today to tell the farmers that the carbon tax has no impact in Quebec. I have room in my car

Carbon Tax Mr. Speaker, after eight years, the costly Bloc-Liberal coalition is not worth the cost. This coalition continues to display contempt for farmers by radically increasing the carbon tax and voting to amend our common-sense Bill C-234. From the outset, this government has shown Ca

Government Priorities Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois is keeping the Prime Minister in power even though he broke our immigration system, raised taxes and doubled the national debt.

Housing Mr. Speaker, that answer proves just how out of touch and asleep at the switch this government is. It needs to get out of the way so municipalities can build affordable housing, just as Victoriaville, Saguenay and Trois-Rivières have done. The community organization Le Bercail h
