Grocery Industry  Mr. Speaker, both the Liberals and the Conservatives have a history of letting rich CEOs off the hook. We can change that today. The Prime Minister could learn a lot from the young women I met earlier today who are struggling to make ends meet. They are living a life he has nev

Grocery Industry  Mr. Speaker, today, the Liberals boasted about announcing more studies on the price of groceries. People do not need more studies, they need the prices to come down. The minister promised to tax excess profits and he broke his promise. The Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and

Grocery Industry  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government and the Prime Minister promised to tax the excess profits of corporate grocery stores if they failed to stabilize grocery prices. They failed to stabilize prices, and the Liberals again broke their promise. The Liberals announced, instead, ano

Pharmacare  Mr. Speaker, Loblaw and Manulife insurance teamed up to limit the coverage of 260 medications for Canadians, more profits for them and less coverage for Canadians. When they tried to do it, we fought back and they walked back the decision. However, the Prime Minister has an oppor

Pharmacare  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals keep on choosing big pharma and Canadians keep paying the price. The Liberals are slinging mud about Loblaws, but they are very well connected too. They have met with Loblaws 60 times in the past two years, and they have received thousands of dollars f

Grocery Industry  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister knows well that no other group can do this work. I want to talk about Halifax. Halifax has the highest rate of poverty in Canada: One in five children live in poverty. Only once has a Liberal MP for Halifax raised the issue of skyrocketing food pr

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, millions of Gazans rely on UNRWA for food, water and shelter. People are starving. Children are eating grass just to survive. Yes, serious allegations need to be investigated and prosecuted. No, children should not pay for this. Why is the Prime Minister fuelling th

Housing  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal member of Parliament for Davenport claims that there is no housing crisis in Toronto. The rest of the Liberal MPs for Toronto would rather fight the City of Toronto than actually deal with the crisis of housing. Frontline workers are saying, “On the groun

Housing  Mr. Speaker, an 83-year-old woman was evicted from the home she lived in for 30 years. Because of the Liberal-Conservative housing crisis, she does not know where she will end up. The Liberals have the resources, the power and the land to fix the housing crisis. When will the Pr

Housing  Mr. Speaker, with 24 Liberal MPs in Toronto, we get a housing crisis and a Davenport MP who gaslights and attacks the city and the housing workers who are struggling to make sure people have a place to call home. Whether someone was born here or moved here, no one should live on

Grocery Industry  Mr. Speaker, the out-of-touch Liberals continue to let down Toronto. Yesterday, the Minister of Industry made me laugh. He said he was disappointed in the big grocery stores. He asked people to read the flyers and failed to stabilize prices, and now he says that we need another

Hon. Ed Broadbent  Mr. Speaker, I want to begin by extending my condolences on behalf of all New Democrats to all those who loved Ed Broadbent: his partner, Frances, his family and his many friends. I also want to take a moment to thank the Prime Minister and Canadian Heritage for yesterday's stat

Housing  Mr. Speaker, things have gotten bad, really bad. The City of Edmonton had to declare a housing and homeless emergency. The Conservatives are laughing about homeless people and a housing crisis, but Toronto had to declare one as well. Again, we hear the Conservatives laughing bec

Housing  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister just does not get it. Surprise, surprise, the Prime Minister has broken another promise. While the country's renoviction rate is at an all-time high, he is refusing to take on the big investors as he promised to do. Why does the Prime Minister s

Grocery Industry  Mr. Speaker, seven million Canadians are struggling now because they have to use food banks. The price of food is going to up by $700 next year just to put food on the table. In committee this morning, the Walmart CEO said that he is not supporting a stronger Competition Bureau
