Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, a Toronto birthday party that should have been a celebration instead ended in tragedy. A one-year-old, a five-year-old and an 11-year-old were indiscriminately shot, caught in the crossfire. This shocking and outrageous act of gun violence against the precious lives

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, Canada's military is in crisis on the defence minister's watch. There have been hours of jarring testimony detailing accounts of abuse of power, rape, sexual harassment and discrimination. Numerous generals are under investigation, others complicit through their acti

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, the defence minister has consistently misrepresented the facts, refused to answer questions, failed to implement important changes to improve the military's culture and turned a blind eye to serious allegations of misconduct. The Prime Minister directed his ministers

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, my hon. colleague has done incredible work. It is an honour and a privilege to stand beside her as we fight for something that truly matters and is at the foundation of our country. There is no question that as we, in our Canadian democracy, have a government and

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, that is not a question that can be answered in 10 seconds or less. I thank my hon. colleague for his incredible work and his appreciative tone for those who have served. What do we need to do? We need leadership that fulfills the roles and responsibilities of the

Canada Day  Mr. Speaker, Canada Day is a time to both celebrate and reflect, a time to embrace who we are as Canadians and all that has brought us here, a time to reflect on what we must protect or risk losing, a time to imagine a vision of what our country can become. To be Canadian means b

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, Canada's military is in crisis, and those at the highest levels know they are untouchable. General Vance is under police investigation, but that did not stop the boys from enjoying a round of a golf. This brazen act by two of the military's most senior commanders i

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, yet, despite months of devastating testimony and four generals under police investigation, the old boys' club is stronger than ever. General Rouleau has the power to intervene in military police investigations, and golfing with Vance sends a clear message that the

Housing  Mr. Speaker, Canada has a national housing crisis, and it is getting worse. With the lowest per capita housing supply in the G7, Canada simply does not have enough houses. In my GTA riding, housing prices have skyrocketed by over 25% in the last year, with the average price now

Housing  Mr. Speaker, when it comes to the national housing crisis, it is about the facts. Monthly mortgage prices have increased from an average of $330 to $2,500. For many in the GTA, the cost of housing exceeds 75% of their income and owning a home is out of reach as it takes over 27
