Carbon Tax Mr. Speaker, a desperate, flailing Prime Minister admitted that his carbon tax was punishing Canadians and making life unaffordable when he decided to remove the carbon tax from some but not all Canadians. This weekend, the minister from Long Range Mountains, Newfoundland and Lab

Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, after eight years, the desperation of the NDP-Liberal government proves the Prime Minister is not worth the cost. Liberals admitted that the carbon tax exemption was not granted to western Canadians because they do not vote Liberal. The minister from Edmonton Centr

Housing Mr. Speaker, after eight years, Canadians are increasingly convinced that the Prime Minister is not worth the cost. The government's insatiable appetite for spending has triggered an inflation crisis and interest rate hikes. Millions of Canadians with mortgages are left wonderin

Housing Mr. Speaker, under the NDP-Liberal government, a generation of young Canadians are giving up on home ownership. It used to be that if someone had a full-time job and saved their money, they could buy a home, start a family and eventually pay their house off. How can a young Cana

Finance Mr. Speaker, I could not imagine anything riskier than another four years, or any number of years, with the current government. The greatest risk to Canadians is if the government should last much longer. It has the coalition, of course, that is propping it up now, but we need a

Finance Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise tonight on adjournment business and talk about a question I put to the government last June. I asked the government about interest rates, and I pointed out the devastating effect that interest rates are having on Canadian homebuyers and homeo

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act Madam Speaker, the member is exactly right. That is the Conservative approach. There is national government level funding for municipal infrastructure, and that must be tied to national policy objectives like increasing the housing supply. However, it would be up to local governm

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act Madam Speaker, I am aware of a few things, including that the government has been in office for eight years and is only now being spurred on, kicking and screaming, by the opposition's plan, which has been tabled in this place, to implement something it promised to do in 2015. I

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act Madam Speaker, I am not going to debate Queen's Park politics here. I am not even sure if that part of the question is in order. As to the member's point about freeing up public lands for development, he raises an important point. It has to be done right. However, it was actuall

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act Madam Speaker, it is always an honour and a pleasure to speak in this place and to add my voice to debate. Today we are talking about Bill C-56, which if passed would amend the Excise Tax Act and implement a temporary 100% rebate on the GST portion for new purpose-built rental ho

Carbon Pricing Madam Speaker, after the next election, when we are on the other side, if the member is re-elected, he will have an opportunity to ask questions of a future Conservative government, but tonight is when opposition members ask questions of the government. If I am to take the point

Carbon Pricing Madam Speaker, I rise tonight in Adjournment Proceedings to have another go at a question I asked on May 30. I talked about the fact that, when fully implemented, the carbon tax is going to be 41ยข a litre, and the Liberals have a new carbon tax in the guise of fuel regulation t

Criminal Code Madam Speaker, it is an honour, as always, to rise and contribute to the debate on Private Members' Business. Tonight we are debating Bill C-295, moved by the member for Vancouver Centre, whose bill proposes an amendment to the Criminal Code to create a new offence for long-term

Housing Mr. Speaker, after eight years of the Liberal-NDP government, access to housing is worse than ever. In 2015, when Conservatives were in government and the Conservative leader was the minister of housing, rent for a one-bedroom apartment was $970 a month. Today, the same apartmen

Criminal Code Madam Speaker, I noted in his speech that toward the end the member did acknowledge that there were shortcomings in Bill C-75, and it was refreshing, because that is about as close as we have come today to hearing that the necessity of Bill C-48 is in large part due to the disast
