Kyriakos Vogiatzakis  Mr. Speaker, Kyriakos Vogiatzakis, Kyri for short, owned the Cork & Flame restaurant in St. James. He loved his customers and they loved him. He always greeted them with a smile. He loved going from table to table just to chat. At the end of lunch or dinner, a tray of dessert

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The Constitution Act requires that there be quorum in this place for it to operate. I respectfully call for—

Housing  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is just not worth the cost of housing. On Thursday, the bank governor also told the finance committee that housing will continue to be unaffordable into the future. After nine years, the Prime Minister has destroyed the dream of home ownership in

Finance  Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the NDP-Liberal government, interest on our national debt is more than we spend on health care. The Prime Minister is spending more money lining the pockets of wealthy bankers and bondholders than making sure Canadians get the health care they nee

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, there can be no doubt that the Liberal government has abandoned indigenous communities. We are talking about a prime minister who, when an indigenous protester showed up at one of his ritzy fundraisers, mocked that protester and said, “Thank you for your donation.”

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, everyday Canadians are paying for the exorbitant interest costs generated by the irresponsible deficit spending of the government, $54.1 billion. That is over a billion dollars a week on the backs of Canadian taxpayers going to wealthy bankers and bondholders and not

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, yes, I meant John Manley.

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, of course, the member is saying what all Liberals say, that Canadians have never had it so good. They think that everything is great. It was not my advice. I do not expect him to take my advice. Bill Morneau does not like the budget. Paul Manley does not like the bu

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, this budget is ironically called “Fairness for Every Generation.” After nine years of the Prime Minister trying to make things fair, he sure has not done a very good job. Things are not fair. Is it fair to every generation that every year life is less affordable? I

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, I want to take the member back to the Liberal platform of 2021, called “Forward. For Everyone.” In that platform, the Liberals' promise was not small; it was a major promise of $4.5 billion for the Canada mental health transfer, which would be implemented over five y

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, the first words that come to mind when I think about what my colleague just expressed are Neville Chamberlain's level appeasement. We cannot say that we stand with Israel or that Israel has a right to defend itself with credibility when we then say that we are not g
