Budget Implementation Act, 2016, No. 2  Madam Speaker, I appreciated my colleague's comments. At the beginning of her speech, she said I needed a history lesson. However, if I need a history lesson, perhaps she needs one in socio-demographic phenomenon, and perhaps she needs to brush up on her economics. When the Cons

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, what he is not saying is when the cheque was written. This government is trying to defend the indefensible. It is hiding behind a law written for all parliamentarians to claim that it is obeying the law. We are all familiar with the saying that just because it is le

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, I have my doubts about what my colleague just said. I could go on with the long list of ministers who take donors hostage. Worse still is the fact that the Prime Minister himself is involved in this sketchy kind of fundraising, the very same Prime Minister who told

Finance  Mr. Speaker, it has been over a year since this government was elected, and already several campaign promises have been broken. The Liberals can pat themselves on the back all they want and pretend that they put more money back in the pockets of nine out of ten families, but the

Finance  Mr. Speaker, this Liberal government is spending left and right and acting like a business on the verge of bankruptcy. It feels like a profitable company whose successful boss has passed on the torch to new management, which is terrified and spending money recklessly. For a clea
