Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, I have withdrawn whatever they are speaking about. I am happy to apologize for whatever they are talking about, too.

Finance  Mr. Speaker, perhaps my colleague did not read the same thing as I did. The Governor of the Bank of Canada—the very one whom the Conservatives promised to fire right away, I might add—said yesterday that he could consider a return to lower interest rates. All of this has been con

Finance  Mr. Speaker, the people of Beauce benefit not only from all the investments I have just listed to my colleague opposite, but also from an AAA credit rating. This is the highest possible rating for G7 countries. Moody's spoke specifically about Canada's stable fiscal and economic

Diversity and Inclusion  Mr. Speaker, this past week and, I dare say, this past half hour, have been a sad point in time for Canadian democracy. We have a Conservative Party that is promising, as we have just heard, to shred the fundamental rights of Canadians. The week in question started on Monday, wh

Finance  Mr. Speaker, I will tell my hon. colleague what Quebeckers have gained. They got dental care. They got a school nutrition program. They got nearly 35,000 new child care spaces funded by the Government of Canada. They got a housing plan and $1.8 billion to speed up the constructi

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, Canada, of course, has the most stringent ethics rules for parliamentarians in almost all of the world. The minister has addressed the question. It is pretty clear that the Conservatives will do anything they can to distract from their vow to rip up the Charter of

Ethics  It is very nice, Mr. Speaker, to have some clarity on that. I would remind the member that at one time in this country, reproductive rights were a criminal matter. Could the member lay out, in very specific detail for the House, now that he is talking about the notwithstanding c

Ethics  Canada has incredibly stringent ethics rules, Mr. Speaker, and the minister has addressed those questions. I do not know whether the member has communicated with his hon. friend who just got up, but maybe he could answer for us specifically now which criminal matters will apply

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, of course, the minister has addressed that question, but I want to return to this theme. The Conservatives—

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, it is pretty clear that the folks over here have not really spoken and gotten their story straight. The member is proposing to put reproductive rights back into a category of criminal behaviour. Other members will not answer which specific rights they would take away

Mental Health and Addictions  Mr. Speaker, once again, that question has been asked many times and answered. I wonder about the hon. members' hearing over there. We get mail. One example reads, “Canada's significant credit strengths will continue to preserve its AAA-rated sovereign credit profile, underpinne

Mental Health and Addictions  Mr. Speaker, that question has been asked and answered, but the letter goes on: “In addition, Canada's credit profile has very limited susceptibility to event risks, supported by stable political institutions, a strong and well-regulated banking system, and reserve currency statu

Mental Health and Addictions  Mr. Speaker, that member needs to unplug from the wall, replug and reboot. He is not listening to the earlier questions. We have told them, very clearly, that B.C. has requested changes, and we are working with B.C. to make those changes. Maybe that member will tell us, specifi

Mental Health and Addictions  Mr. Speaker, that question has been asked many times and answered many times by my hon. colleague, the minister. I want to know something. The member is a female member of her caucus. This morning, a headline reads, “Conservatives don’t rule out using notwithstanding clause beyo
