Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I find it rather rich that the Liberals continually talk about how we should not hurl accusations at others, but then they just seem to do it themselves. Let us be very clear. The government's legislative agenda when I was in cabinet was to be concerned about the sa

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned, on this side of the House, we take great pride in making sure that Canadians come first and that we protect them. Unlike the other side of the House that is spending a significant amount of money focusing on individuals who have been involved in ter

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the member for Souris—Moose Mountain. One of the parts of being a member of Parliament I love the most is spending time with the individuals in my riding and talking to these down-to-earth, hard-working, sensible people in Simcoe—Grey

Budget Implementation Act, 2017, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned in my speech, I do have concerns about people who avoid taxes, one of them being our Minister of Finance. He has made a conscious choice to avoid paying taxes here, inheritance taxes. The Liberals expect to place a higher tax rate on those individuals

Budget Implementation Act, 2017, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I would first like to state that if we want to talk about character assassination, why is it the Minister of Finance gets to tell the member for Milton that she cannot do math? What is that all about? The last I checked, the member for Milton is actually exceptionall

Budget Implementation Act, 2017, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I am very happy to speak today on what is proving to be one of the least popular budget bills in modern Canadian parliamentary history, although I regret not having the opportunity to address the ill-conceived Canada infrastructure bank directly, since it has been em

Budget Implementation Act, 2017, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I have a simple question for the member. We are always hearing how the Liberal government feels that it has been so invested in making sure that the lives of average Canadians are improved, whether it be with this budget bill or with those previous. I would like to h

Budget Implementation Act, 2017, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I find it interesting that the member opposite talked about what the real issue is. The real issue here is that the average Canadian is actually paying more in tax, because they have a Liberal government. It is not really that complicated. Small businesses now are

Budget Implementation Act, 2017, No. 2  Let me think who it is. It is the doctors who told me they would be paying more taxes. I guess they do not know how to do math—

Youth  Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to rise in the House today to recognize the official grand opening of the Collingwood Youth Centre. This month, over 200 local youth and volunteers will gather to celebrate this next chapter in its history. When the original facility clos

Budget Implementation Act, 2017, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, the member opposite was focused on one bank, but I would like to focus on another that is mentioned in this budget implementation bill. The Liberals have made a choice to now make an enormous investment in the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. This is a governme

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, with respect to insulin therapy, the CRA has confirmed that a new direction was given at the beginning of May. This unannounced change has resulted in hundreds of type 1 diabetics receiving less money, amounting to hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of dollars. As

Health  Mr. Speaker, I am also shocked by another revelation. We have a Liberal government that wants to legalize marijuana, and yesterday we learned that the Liberals may be planning to decriminalize all drugs. In my clinic, kids are asking, “Is it okay to do drugs now?” Young Canadia

Tobacco and Vaping Products Act  Mr. Speaker, the speech by my colleague from Sarnia—Lambton seemed to cover the gamut of the issues here. One of the concerns she has raised, and I share it, is the contradictions in the government's message to young people. Maybe she could elaborate a bit more on this. For de

Budget Implementation Act, 2017, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I found it quite shocking what was just said in the House by one of the members from the Liberal Party on this issue around how the Minister of Finance has not been seen to have done anything wrong. Maybe the member can confirm for me because I may have read the news
