Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, every time anyone has risen during this, I have circled back to the same point I made before, which is that the merger of banks is going to drive up costs for Canadians at a time when they cannot afford it. What they cannot afford is Liberal—

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, it is fascinating that the member for New Westminster—Burnaby has debased himself to the point that he had all his members leave the chamber to call quorum, along with the member for Kingston and the Islands—

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, we have members of Parliament who have been elected, such as the member for New Westminster—Burnaby and the member for Kingston and the Islands, who have taken to defending a government that is corrupt, and that corruption is costing Canadians. That cost to Canadi

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I guess that if the member opposite has not had to worry about the financial pressures that other Canadians have had, because of her personal financial situation and great success, then congratulations to her on her many, many millions of dollars. However, for ever

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I would encourage the member opposite to crack open the House of Commons Procedure and Practice and take a look at what the Standing Orders are before she rises in the chamber. What would be really helpful for Canadians is if she was respectful to the people who a

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, we can hear the member for Kingston and the Islands. If he wants to shout me down while I am talking about the hardships that Canadians are facing, it is not a surprise. The champagne Liberals—

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, it is no surprise that the Liberals, who are part of the most corrupt government in our country's history, are presiding over an economy where their inflationary spending is driving Canadians to food banks in record numbers, yet they do not want elected representat

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, the issue of competition in this country is an incredibly important one when it is set against the backdrop of skyrocketing prices. After eight years of the NDP-Liberal government, we have seen the effect of its policies. Take a look at rent; it has doubled. Take

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, the member for Calgary Rocky Ridge rightly identified that it was the Liberal-appointed chair of the billion-dollar green slush fund who not only moved the motion, but also voted for the motion to give herself hundreds of thousands of dollars. She put it into a com

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I will offer some facts to the parliamentary secretary. The Auditor General of Canada is investigating embezzlement and corruption at the Liberal billion-dollar green slush fund. That is a fact. The Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner is investigating not

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, it was the same theatre that we saw from the minister when talking about his refusal to take action on the billion-dollar green slush fund. There was an awful lot of motion. He was quite blustery, but he wanted us to confuse that for action. He is not taking any

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, they cannot even help but heckle the Speaker when that member is so desperate to try to defend the indefensible, and that is the Liberal corruption that is costing Canadians and is forcing them to skip meals. The Liberals' inflationary spending is not for legacy

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the excellent member for Red Deer—Lacombe. It is a very challenging time for Canadians. We have food price inflation that we have never seen before in this country. Food bank usage is at an all-time high. A third of all food bank use

Innovation, Science and Industry  Mr. Speaker, the NDP-Liberal government's billion-dollar green, or greed, slush fund is in a crisis of corruption. The CEO resigned in disgrace. The Liberal-appointed board chair resigned in disgrace. The Auditor General is investigating. The Conflict of Interest and Ethics Comm

Innovation, Science and Industry  Mr. Speaker, only Liberals would think shovelling hundreds of millions of dollars into the pockets of their friends is doing anything to fight climate change. They are under multiple investigations. It is Liberal appointees who are being investigated. It is absolutely despicable
