Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I am always surprised to see how the Conservatives bring everything back to the carbon tax. The conflict in Ukraine is all about the carbon tax. Now, the Conservatives are saying that the problems farmers are having are because of the carbon tax. The Conservatives' c

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I agree with my colleague. Then again, the best course of action would be to abolish the Senate altogether.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, as always, my House leader said it best. That is what I called the Carleton method. That is it.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, it is rather confusing. My colleague is telling us that the carbon tax applies but that it applies indirectly. It is hard to see what he is getting at. If we really want to help farmers in Quebec, then we need to defend the supply management bill. My advice to my

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I have to agree with my colleague from Winnipeg North, which rarely happens. Not only that, but I would use another metaphor, one borrowed from my colleague from Winnipeg North. He often talks about the Homer Simpson awards. The big winner of the Homer Simpson awa

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would say to my friend that when the truth strikes a nerve it can sting sometimes, but it is for the best. It is better to tell the truth—

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the member for Richmond—Arthabaska said that he was the victim of intimidation, pure and simple, and that the member for Carleton is the one who came up with that tactic. I am quoting the member for Richmond—Arthabaska. What I am saying is that the members from Qu

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I was referring to an article in which the member for Richmond—Arthabaska said that he had been the victim of what I would describe as rather unorthodox treatment. My aim was not to smear anyone. I simply stated the facts. It is a fact that Conservative MPs preferr

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, what I told my colleague is that some newspaper articles refer to calls he allegedly made to the member for Richmond—Arthabaska's staff at the time, asking him to resign. I could send him the newspaper references. Not more than half an hour ago, I asked the leader

Business of Supply  I apologize, Madam Speaker. I am talking about the member for Carleton. Sometimes I get carried away and make mistakes. Why did the member for Louis-Saint-Laurent make that decision? It is because he is well aware of how the member for Carleton operates. The member for Portneuf

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I am hearing some noise.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, before I heard the noise, I was saying that the member for Portneuf—Jacques‑Cartier stated that he would think long and hard about his future if the member for Carleton became the leader of his party. He said, “I will resign, or join another party in the House of C

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, we were told about the Carleton doctrine, which is based on intimidation and disinformation. The same goes for Senator Jean-Guy Dagenais, who said that he was going to tear up his membership card, affirming that the Conservative Party of Canada was putting its ent

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, it was rather funny to see my whip “whip” the House leader of the official opposition. What a thing to see. First of all, defending an argument does not mean bullying someone; debating does not mean spreading disinformation; sharing political views is never to be

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I think we are going to hear the two words “disinformation” and “bullying” over and over again today. We are going to hear those words a lot today. What happened to the two senators in recent days is exactly what the Conservative Party tried to pull with the membe
