Housing  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is just not worth the cost. Under the Liberal-NDP costly coalition, Canadians are paying, on average, 66% of their income just to keep a roof over their head, and in a lot of instances that is all it is. With the other 34% going to pay taxes for

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Madam Speaker, we are supposed to be discussing the Competition Act this morning, but we are discussing the delay tactics of the Liberals. Some have said that the reason we have high grocery prices is the lack of competition in the grocery industry. Could the member think of an

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, it is interesting that, if a member supports any one item in a bill, the Liberals think right away that the member endorses or supports the entire bill. That just is not the case. I think I articulated fairly clearly in my speech that this bill has many flaws. It

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, the member's question is a great question. “Noise abatement” is the term commonly used in the aviation industry. I have first-hand experience in that industry, being a pilot myself. Just this past summer, I completed my instrument rating. I can talk a bit about Na

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, I think we need to have a Canadian airport strategy. We need to be working, through our infrastructure department, to have a trade corridor that would include upgrading our airports to facilitate international trade. We talked about a free trade agreement with Uk

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, it is always a privilege to speak on behalf of Canadians and, particularly, of my constituents in the riding of Provencher. For those who do not know where Provencher is, it is in southeast Manitoba. Today, I am speaking to Bill C-52, An Act to enact the Air Trans

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, the bill purports to make travel experience better, but it does not really have service expectations or standards set out clearly. A lot of it is just left to the Governor in Council, or in other words, cabinet. I think it would be unfounded, but the member may hav

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, of course, Canadians know that Conservatives support Ukraine. We have demonstrated that through our support of the help and the aid that we have provided to Ukraine in the last year and a half. Our support is unequivocal for Ukraine. Conservatives are prudent, an

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, it is a good question because it would appear as though perhaps there is an inconsistency in our position. There is not. Conservatives support Ukraine. We negotiated the first free trade agreement. We support free trade. There is currently a free trade agreement i

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I am not sure what the question was in that comment. Canada and Conservatives, from a Conservative position, stand eager to help Ukraine in its rebuilding. We know that a free trade agreement is going to be part of that, so that it will enable us to supply them wit

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, it is an honour, and I am pleased to have the opportunity to speak to this piece of legislation today. I am from a Mennonite background, and the majority of my constituents are of Mennonite origin. Canadian Mennonites, by and large, come from Ukraine. The first gr

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, the results of the Liberal-NDP government are in. Under the Prime Minister, there has been a record two million food bank visits in a single month. Housing costs have doubled. Mortgage payments are 150% higher than they were eight years ago. Violent crime is up 39%.

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. After I asked my question, you indicated that the question should be directed through you to a minister of the Crown and not just to any random Liberal. In fact, I was asking my question to the member for Saint Boniface—Saint Vital, who is

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, after eight years we now have the socialists, the separatists and the Prime Minister, who is just not worth the cost. They are all part of this costly carbon tax coalition that is leaving Canadians out in the cold. The rural affairs minister recently told Manitobans

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I listened carefully to the member's speech. We all know that primarily the biggest beneficiaries of this carbon tax pause on home heating fuel are those from Atlantic Canada. In fact, the minister from Newfoundland and Labrador clearly said that other areas of the
