Affordable Housing and Groceries Act Madam Speaker, unfortunately, the Leader of the Opposition comes here and just recycles old slogans. He is not providing anything substantial. He is threatening municipalities with cutting infrastructure but expects them to build more housing. This bill is already having impacts

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act Mr. Speaker, it is clear that there are so many in the House who are passionate about building housing. I was concerned that he was downplaying the impact of the GST credit. It is not a magic bullet that will solve anything, but it will be significant. It will produce hundreds of

Housing Madam Speaker, the hon. member is right: We need to do better. Our government is taking steps to protect Canadians from the impacts of climate change. Extreme weather events brought on by climate change pose risks to Canadians' homes, their sense of security and their financial f

Housing Madam Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for highlighting the costs of inaction on climate change. When he asked the question back in June, I remember we were debating on many occasions the Conservative Party's seeking to make pollution free in this country, even thou

Online News Act Madam Speaker, we have seen the bill through; we had collaboration from the NDP and the Bloc. If we go back in our time machine a bit, to the last election just about a year and a half ago, we saw support for this very initiative in the Conservative platform. I believe it was at

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1 Madam Speaker, the hon. member goes outside and sees the smoke in the air and talks about 1995. I think I was in grade 11. Let us get real.

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.

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.
