Finance  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate that the member across the way uses selective statistics. Yes, 64,000 jobs were created in September, but that is because there are fewer people actually working full time. The actual number of hours worked has gone down by 0.2%, in the same report. Man

Finance  Mr. Speaker, Canada's banking regulator has reported that one in five mortgages at three banks are in negative amortization. In simple terms, homeowners cannot afford to pay their mortgages. Mortgage rates have increased at the fastest pace in history because of the Liberal gove

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Madam Speaker, I congratulate the member on her expanding role, having started in a different political party, moving over to a new political party and actually getting a parliamentary secretary position. Her trajectory is clearly on the rise here, and I congratulate her for that

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Madam Speaker, I noticed my colleague is speaking about economic benefits, and he had spoken to somebody in a town in his riding; I think he mentioned Whistler. He talked about the importance of the GST benefit that is presented in this bill. I just wonder if he had a date on th

Petitions  Madam Speaker, I rise today in the House of Commons to speak on behalf of the Sudanese community in Calgary, which is encouraging the government to process more quickly the applications of several Sudanese who want to come to Canada as a result of the conflict that is happening i

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, I am rising to apologize. My apologies to the member across the way.

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, my colleague mentioned the whole thing about the screen scraping of information. Screen scraping of information is not free.

Taxation  Madam Speaker, I know it is late and I know my colleague across the way probably did not even listen to what I had to say. The answer was obviously disconnected from any question I actually had. We talked about inflation. I did not talk about much else that he referred to in ther

Taxation  Madam Speaker, I rise today because of a question I asked some time ago in the House of Commons, which went unanswered in many respects. We talked about, at that point in time, the inflation and the toll it was taking on Canada's businesses, both in their ability to borrow and wi

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I raised this with one of his colleagues as well. I would ask for a retraction of that statement, because I was in this House well into the debate.

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I welcome my colleague back to the House after the time she spent in Alberta during the provincial election. Let me ask her something. She has thrown a whole bunch of shame around the House. At the same time, the government has presented a budget that is plunging

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, that is an excellent question and the member is exactly right. There is everything anyone could choose, part of which is the budget and part of which is in this bill for the budget implementation act. I had here in my notes 10 different issues on the budget implem

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I am sorry, but I am not sure what clause my colleague is referring to. If my colleague could mention the words that go with the clause during her next question, that might benefit the House of Commons.
