Inclusion of Students with Disabilities  Madam Speaker, John F. Kennedy once said, “Things do not happen.

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I believe the rules of the House dictate that when a question is asked, the hon. member answering the question should at least attempt to refer, in some way, to—

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, the Liberal approach to this debate has been completely unserious. We listened to the member, just like other members before her, talk about the wildfire situation. The government has been in power for eight years and somehow the wildfire situation we are facing is

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, the hon. member and I probably have very different positions on oil and gas and on pipelines. However, one thing we agree on is that there was no need for the federal government to own the Trans Mountain pipeline. In our view, of course, the private sector should h

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I can assure the member that, if he carves out that particular element and removes the $60 billion in new spending; if he removes the more than $40 billion in deficit spending, which this country cannot afford right now and which is driving up the cost of everythin

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, let me say first that, soon enough, the member will be able to refer to us as the Conservative government and she will not be spreading misinformation.

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, it has been an interesting debate tonight. There were a couple of things that I heard from the Liberals and the NDP, one of which I expected to hear a lot about and one which I did not.

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, as you know, and as the hon. member has been around long enough to know, it is against the rules of the House to mislead the House, and he just completely misinformed the House in regard to the Harper record.

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, it was interesting to listen to the Liberal member fearmongering about cuts, as many Liberal members do. If we take a look at actual history and facts, we will find that the last government to significantly cut transfers for health care, social services and other i

Inclusion of Students with Disabilities  Madam Speaker, one of the things I did not do particularly in the legislation is call on the government to spend more money on anything. I did not want to get into debate about how much we spend, whether it is enough and all of those different things. Clearly, there are challenge

Inclusion of Students with Disabilities  Madam Speaker, I love that question. I have loved all the questions. I would say, to that end, one thing that is really important is that this is not a competition. This is not one vulnerable group against another vulnerable group, or one advocacy organization against another ad

Inclusion of Students with Disabilities  Mr. Speaker, it is nice. I am going to zero in on two points the member made. First of all is the incredible importance of connection.
