Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I would agree in many respects with my colleague from the Bloc, that the Liberal government has missed every single environmental target it has set. Canada is now at the bottom of the pack when it comes to climate change. The government has brought forward all thes

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, as I said in an earlier response to a Liberal member's question, there are many aspects that are impacting a lot of the challenges we are seeing here in the country, but there is no denying the fact that, as the PBO pointed out, as Mark Carney has pointed out and a

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I am honoured by the opportunity to rise again today and speak to a government bill, Bill C-32, in regard to the fall economic statement. The member for Winnipeg North believes it is a good bill. Unfortunately, I cannot really say the same, and I am going to get in

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Mr. Speaker, when it comes to the government's economic policies, one thing I find very troubling is the fact that the government always spends and spends, but the results are not there for Canadians. That is very true when it comes to indigenous services. The government has incr

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Mr. Speaker, one of the things I want to pick up on is the fact that we are clearly in an economic crisis, with Canadians struggling across the country just to put food on the table and heat their homes. They are struggling to get by. The answer from the government, time and time

Taxation  Madam Speaker, the economic update released by this costly coalition only features more of the same reckless spending policies that have driven up inflation on Canadians. Now people are worried and wondering how they are going to be able to fill their gas tanks, heat their homes

Cost of Living  Madam Speaker, inflation is at record highs, and this month food inflation has jumped to over 11%. This is something that we are feeling especially across northern Ontario. In communities in my riding, people are now having to choose between heating their homes, filling their veh

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, Canadians are struggling because of the inflation caused by the Prime Minister and his government. Now, as temperatures are dropping below zero across northern Ontario and the Liberals are planning to triple the taxes on home heating, people are worried and are wonde

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, everything is getting more expensive as the government drives up inflation with its tax-and-spend policies. Now it is planning to triple taxes on gas, triple taxes on groceries and triple taxes on home heating. This is all while Canadians are struggling to get by and

National Council for Reconciliation Act  Madam Speaker, the parliamentary secretary and I have had the opportunity to work together on a number of different issues in committee and elsewhere, and I appreciate the approach she brings to this place. The parliamentary secretary alluded to the final report from the interim

National Council for Reconciliation Act  Madam Speaker, the member for Winnipeg North is definitely not shy to rise in this place and share his thoughts with the chamber. My question is regarding a recent PBO report that showed the increase the government has had in expenditures through ICS since 2015 has not measured

National Council for Reconciliation Act  Madam Speaker, I agree with much of what my colleague from the Liberal Party had to say, and I appreciate his sentiment. I have a question around the timing of this. Of course, the government has said that no relationship is more important to it than its relationship with indige

Cost of Living  Mr. Speaker, our new Conservative leader will put the people first: their paycheques, their savings, their homes and their country. People feel like they are losing control of their pocketbooks and of their lives, as the government has doubled the national debt and is driving up

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleagues for the warm reception. It is an honour to be joining the debate today and to be the closer of business this afternoon before a very important discussion later this evening. Of course, I want to thank my colleague from Saskatoon West for being

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I want to pick up on something the hon. member mentioned right at the beginning and that is inflation being a global phenomenon. I am not going to dispute that. We know that other countries are facing inflation as well. The part the member forgot to share was the fac
