Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, we said it at the time. It is about transitioning the economy. Oil is still going to be produced. Energy is still going to be relied on. I know that when the leader of the Bloc Québécois was minister in the provincial government, he was seeking to engage in oil exp

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I have been advocating for dental care since before my election in 2015, as the chair of a community health centre in St. Catharines that established a volunteer dental clinic. To see the look in people's eyes when they can smile is monumental. It is monumental in

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I wonder if those members will go to food banks in their ridings and tell them that they will cut affordable day care. What would that do to parents, single parents especially? They will cut GIS perhaps, cut day care and cut the CCB. There would not be a rental ben

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  The hon. member who is heckling me talked about food banks, but I am not hearing from my food bank that we should cut the price on pollution. That is not what they are talking about. Conservatives are laughing. They think it is hilarious that there are 30,000 Canadians who have

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  That is right. It is shameful, as the hon. member said.

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, I am the wrong person to look to for a Tupac quote. However, in the rest of my speech, I will try to educate, enlighten and entertain members of this chamber. I asked about this in my question. It was troubling this morning when I got a warning on my

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, the member talks almost exclusively in bumper sticker slogans that the Conservative Party recycles. Recycling slogans is the only environmental plan it has. Why does he not mention anything about climate change, in terms of affordability, and its impact on food pric

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, on a point of order, because he did it to me, I believe if you seek it, you would find unanimous consent to wish the member for Kingston and the Islands a very happy birthday today.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, once again, it is disappointing to hear Conservatives' stance on climate change, which is, “Don't worry about it.” The hon. member's province is on fire. There are fires raging out of control across the country, and the Conservatives are heckling. They are not ser

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, we request a recorded division.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, on a point of order, was the point that, if criminals do not follow laws, we should therefore not have laws? That aside, the hon. member was sitting while he is speaking. Our traditions are that we stand when we address the House. I do not know what the rules are

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, again, on a point of order, it is bizarre that the hon. member is talking about following the rules, but said the rules do not apply in the last 15 minutes while the House is sitting. I find that surprising, so I was just wondering—

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for all his work on the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. Throughout this debate, I have been hearing a lot of misinformation and disinformation, especially from gun lobby groups, as well as the Conserv

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, this was a matter brought up by the Speaker at multiple times. The hon. member was standing and staring at the hon. member, trying to intimidate him, just as he is doing right now. One is supposed to sit when other members have the floor. The other members are suppos

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, I believe the points of order by the member for Kingston and the Islands were actually valid, some of them, just to clarify that for the record.
