Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I have thousands of comments. Members can visit my Facebook page, read them and maybe join people. The reality is that we hear them and we are fighting for them. We know that Canadians do not want the Prime Minister to force his tax hike on them. We have common-s

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, it is so hard to rationalize the delusion of Liberal logic and Liberal math. It is so challenging. The argument is that they are going to give a rebate. If they did not take the money, there would be no rebate. People do not have that extra money to give. For an av

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, it is always a true privilege and honour to rise in the House of Commons and represent the wonderful, amazing, hard-working people of Peterborough—Kawartha. Today, we have a very important opposition day motion, put forward by the member for Carleton, the official

Questions on the Order Paper  With regard to the Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care system: what is the amount per child that the government provides to each province or territory for each child enrolled in the program?

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of this Liberal-NDP coalition, food has never been more expensive. In fact, food is so unaffordable that 50 active serving military families from CFB Gagetown are using the Oromocto Food Bank. This is outrageous, shocking and unacceptable. For the

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, that is exactly the lack of a classy response I would expect from the Liberals. The reality is that he does not know what is going on because he clearly does not listen. These are 50 real families accessing a food bank under that Prime Minister's watch. It is $700

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, to the member opposite, the member for Kingston and the Islands, I will say that I think one of the key pieces of this discussion, in solving the problems that exist, is listening to constituents. Today a constituent of his was here in Ottawa. Kerri Kehoe was a vi

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  That's untrue, and she wrote this. She wrote this, and you know it.

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his intervention today. I really loved what he did in his speech today: He provided honest, real feedback from both operators and families from his riding, and their recommendations. One was meaningful consultation, which the Liberal-N

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. What is the relevance? We are talking about Bill C-35, and the member opposite is talking about—

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, there is absolutely no doubt that access to child care is the number one issue in supporting mothers getting back to work or choosing to work outside of the home. There are a couple of things I want to correct on the record. This bill is already in effect. It is

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague from the lovely province of Alberta. The member brought up the point of what a lot of people are doing. We saw this and we predicted, as Conservatives, that the federal government, the Liberals, set up the provinces to take the fall for th

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, I would ask my colleague to speak with her colleague about what we fought for in committee. The Conservatives were the only ones who put forward and supported an amendment for UNDRIP to ensure that first nations had access to their own child care rights. The initial

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague from the other Peterborough, the not-as-great but really close—

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, in all seriousness, though, my colleague, who is a dad, knows this. It has already been brought up once today by another member from British Columbia. It was a great point. We have the facts now, coming out of the chaos that has endured as a result of this failed po
