Liberal Party of Canada Madam Speaker, after nine Liberal Pinocchio budgets and nine straight deficits on which every Liberal projection has been wrong, the NDP-Liberal government is still not worth the cost.

Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, that answer is cold comfort for the families in my community that have increased the usage of the St. Margaret's Bay Food Bank by 30%. Why? Because the Parliamentary Budget Officer said that the average Nova Scotia family pays $1,500 in carbon tax and gets back $963

Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, those Liberals think Canadians have never had it so good, but after eight years of the NDP-Liberals, Melody from Nova Scotia is losing hope, because the 23% increase in the carbon tax that is happening on April 1 will put the cost of everything up. Melody had to se

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I believe that member knows absolutely nothing about the history of this party, and he referred to quite a bit. I have been a member of this party since I was 17 years old. I knew Brian Mulroney; he was a friend of mine. He is lying in state and in repose. That me

Right Hon. Brian Mulroney Madam Chair, those were wonderful speeches by the last two Liberal members. I want to thank them.

Public Services and Procurement Madam Speaker, the arrive scam app is just like the Prime Minister, not worth the cost and not worth the corruption.

Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister's NDP-Liberal friends got rich turning the arrive scam app into a $60-million grift for an $80,000 app. If hurting taxpayers for the personal gain of Liberals was not enough, now the Prime Minister is going to increase the cost of everything on Apr
