Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Madam Speaker, I will be splitting my time with the member for South Surrey—White Rock this evening. It is an honour to rise in Parliament today to speak on behalf of the residents of Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte. I am pleased that the government has finally brought up Bill

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Madam Speaker, this was a Liberal promise back in 2015. The Conservatives are for this bill, which is being processed through right now. It has been before the House twice already. It has died both times. I am wondering if you are optimistic and hopeful that this time, we are go

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Madam Speaker, are you optimistic that it is going to get through this time and become the good bill that it is needed to be?

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  The Conservatives will be supporting this. We will be reviewing it at the committee, which I sit on. I am looking forward to that. Maybe we could hear a few words about that.

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Mr. Speaker, the member opposite mentioned that the legislation had been brought up twice before, and I agree with that. However, when Bill C-98 was introduced in 2019 and when Bill C-3 was introduced in 2020, many stakeholders, especially the union that represents CBSA officers,

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Mr. Speaker, I was not around when this was brought up twice in the past. Bill C-98 and Bill C-3 came out in the 42nd Parliament and 43rd Parliament. They did not come through and both died on the Order Paper. Perhaps the member could share some of her wisdom as to why she feels

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, Canadians are struggling to pay their bills. They are lying in bed at night wondering how they are going to survive the devastating effects of the Liberal government's inflationary spending. Canadians simply cannot afford anymore of this costly coalition. Today, the

Cost of Living  Mr. Speaker, the new Conservative leader will put people first: their paycheques, their savings, their homes and their country. Canadians are struggling to make ends meet. The residents of Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte are no exception to this crisis. A recent article in Barrie

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, it is just inflation. Just this week, the executive director of Barrie Food Bank stated, “Everything we...buy is more expensive” She also noted that people who have historically donated to the Barrie Food Bank are now using it to feed their families. The number of h

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, “Justinflation” is really hurting the residents of Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte—

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the member opposite. Just this week, in our local newspaper in Barrie, the executive director of the Barrie Food Bank was talking about how much more use there is right now. She is even seeing that some people who have historically donated to t

Leadership in Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte  Mr. Speaker, today I am especially proud to rise in recognition of two outstanding leaders in Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte who will be starting their much-deserved retirement soon. Janice Skot led the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre for 17 years as president and CEO. She

William Dwyer  Mr. Speaker, today I am rising in Parliament to commemorate the loss of a Barrie fundraising hero, William Dwyer, who passed away this week at the age of 96. My condolences go to his family, friends and the organizing team he was part of. Will was the epitome of selflessness and

Economic and Fiscal Update Implementation Act, 2021  Madam Speaker, I have a very straightforward question. Where I come from, Barrie—Springwood—Oro-Medonte, the average price of a home is over $900,000. It is getting very tough for young people to buy their first home. In the recent budget 2022, there was a tax-free savings accoun

Housing  Mr. Speaker, a February 2022 report by the Barrie and District Association of Realtors indicated that the average selling price of a home in Barrie was over $950,000. This is a 36% increase compared with the same time just one year ago. The report also stated that prices have ris
