Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, the government runs the country. The government is responsible for the economy. I am not sure how, with all of the things that the member addressed, the cost of gas, the cost of groceries, how increasing taxes is going to help Canadians when they cannot take home th

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, again, we are here to discuss Bill C-30 and a one-time tax rebate that is going to cost Canadians even more money. Spending more money rather than investing in our country is not going to be the solution we need. Right now in my riding of Peterborough—Kawartha, peo

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I would agree absolutely, and I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge that this week is Mental Illness Awareness Week. The Liberal government promised $4.5 billion to mental health transfers, and not one dime has been sent. We have a mental health crisis in this c

Sports  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government has known for four years about the heinous allegations of sexual assault against eight players from team Canada. Hockey Canada received $14 million from 2020 to 2021 from the Liberal government. Hockey Canada has paid millions to pay off sexual

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, Canadians are at a breaking point. Fifty-one per cent are only $200 away from bankruptcy. The government's proposed solution is more tax, freezing them out of their homes, if they are lucky enough to even have one. It is going to triple the carbon tax on groceries, t

Mental Health  Madam Chair, my question is around why we have seen such a delay. If this is such a crisis, if we have known about it for so long and the recommendations have been made, why does the member opposite think it has taken so long to do anything or take any action related to mental he

Mental Health  Madam Chair, I will be sharing my time today with the member for Brandon—Souris. Five minutes to talk about mental health is certainly not enough time. I appreciate the grace and vulnerability that has been shared tonight. I also appreciate that every single member in the House

Mental Health  Madam Chair, we cannot use names. I appreciate that. My frustration lies in that, if the Prime Minister is not able to do more, then who is? Who is able to do more, if at the highest level of our federal government, we cannot do more? There are two things that a leader needs to

Mental Health  Madam Chair, what we do on this side of the House is make sure money is spent well. We know where money should go. When we have an app that should have cost less than $250,000 and it cost $54 million and the government does not even know where it is, that is what we are talking a

Mental Health  Madam Chair, my hon. colleague has done so much work, and we definitely share similarities in how we feel about this. There is a lack of political will. There is too much virtue signalling. He is absolutely right. There is an opportunity to do it and it is not being done. If we

Mental Health  Madam Chair, I love that question from my hon. colleague, because it is about action and accountability, which is what we are really missing here, and that part of leadership. When we talk about self-regulation, this is one of the many tools we could be building into a national

Federal Framework on Housing for Individuals with Non-visible Disabilities  Madam Speaker, as always, it is an honour to stand in the House of Commons to represent the constituents of Peterborough—Kawartha. Today I rise to speak on Motion No. 59 put forward by the member for London West. I appreciate her passion and initiative on this motion. The motion

Judges Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his speech, and he brought up a really great point that I would love to learn more about. We just had a municipal election in my riding, and the number one concern was the rise of crime and the statistics that the same small number of

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, 1.47 million is the number of Canadians who accessed food banks in one month. It is the highest number in history ever. One in three of those users are children. What is the Liberals' plan for relief? More tax. They want to triple the carbon tax on groceries, triple

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the member's attempt to answer the question, but that is not an answer for why we have a trillion-dollar debt. It is not an answer when we have an increasing carbon tax and four million Canadians rely on propane and oil to heat their homes. This is not a
