Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Mr. Speaker, before I begin, I would like to say that I am sharing my time with the hon. member for Don Valley East. We are here today to talk about Bill C-56. This bill, unfortunately, has been delayed by the Conservatives, time after time. We have seen their obstructionist pol

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Mr. Speaker, since this is time allocated, I am happy to be up here as long as they want me to be, through points of order. I am happy to be here until 11 o'clock or whenever the next series of votes happens. The hon. member from Newfoundland, from the Conservative Party, was an

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Mr. Speaker, to be clear, I am sure the member for Avalon will back me up on this. It is the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, but I believe the hon. member is from the Island of Newfoundland proper. I am sure he will yell out something a little later. Clearly, the embarras

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  That is a good point from my colleague, Mr. Speaker, that MAGA politics are making their way into the Conservative Party. It is an embarrassment.

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Mr. Speaker, I am happy to respond to all the comments. I was going to move on, but it is clear that the Conservative Party is getting upset any time we mention Ukraine. We cannot mention Ukraine, because they are going to get—

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Mr. Speaker, we request a recorded division.

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Madam Speaker, that was an interesting answer; the member said he does not see a correlation, then specified the correlation that we need to build more housing. Reducing the cost of building, especially by reducing the GST, would make rental projects more profitable for builders

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Madam Speaker, I am a little bit puzzled. On the one hand, the hon. member is attacking the NDP, and I guess the government at the same time, in terms of this motion. On the other, he is supporting the contents of the bill. Does he support the continued Conservative filibuster, o

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, I would like to confirm that I did hear that from the member for Miramichi—Grand Lake. When questioned on it by a member on that side, he said he was here for the facts. I think in this place we can be parliamentary. However, accusing another member of supporting a

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, it is wonderful to rise today on Bill C-52 brought forward by the Minister of Transport. I was his parliamentary secretary when he was the heritage minister. We went through a couple of other pieces of legislation, but it is excellent to be here to speak to this le

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C‑56  Madam Speaker, that was a very lengthy question. I would like to thank the hon. member for suggesting that I would be able to do a backflip. On the figurative backflips the hon. member was doing, I guess he is defending his party's filibuster of this legislation. It is dripping

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C‑56  Madam Speaker, there is not enough competition in this country, especially when it comes to groceries. Canadians can see that. Everyone here goes to the grocery store. Canadians go to the grocery store. We hear it from our constituents. This bill is about strengthening powers I

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C‑56  Madam Speaker, I am happy to learn more information, but I was prepared to debate this legislation. The member always passionately brings up issues related to him. I am happy to look into it when I have more time. I wish it were a question on the piece of legislation before us, b

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C‑56  Madam Speaker, before I begin, I will be seeking unanimous consent. I want to remind members on the other side that if they deny it, the other member will get a full 20-minute slot. I seek unanimous consent to split my time, for a 10-minute speech each, with the member for Winnip

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C‑56  Madam Speaker, I am glad I could help bring the House together on that potentially controversial point about the member for Winnipeg North. The Conservative member who just spoke was concerned that we are not addressing the housing crisis. I have great news for the member and fo
