Canada Revenue Agency  Mr. Speaker, in 2017, regarding the KPMG affair, the Minister of National Revenue promised to, and I quote, “exhaust all judicial avenues”. She failed. There is no longer a single tax evader who is afraid of this incompetent minister. On the contrary, she is sending a clear mess

Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I cannot respond to every point my colleague raised, so I will focus on the specific question at the end of his remarks. That is a perfect example of the government saying one thing and doing another. Here is another one. The government decided to spend $15 billio

Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1  Madam Speaker, from what we heard in committee, one thing was clear. Although the government's intention was to make housing and home ownership more accessible, this first-time homebuyer incentive, also known as a shared equity mortgage, will not achieve its goal. Aspiring homebu

Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1  Madam Speaker, that is a good way to describe what happened during the last election campaign. This is not the first time we have heard it said that the Liberals signal left and then turn right. That is a very old expression. It is a rather dangerous thing to do on the road. Howe

Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague. She heard the many witnesses in committee who spoke about poverty reduction and the national housing strategy, which are two major parts of Bill C-97. I may repeat myself here. The member should already know my position on poverty, since she

Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise today on behalf of my caucus. I am sure that other members will have a chance to do the same, but I am deeply honoured to be taking part in the third reading debate on Bill C-97. This bill has already been heavily scrutinized here in the House

Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I have a question for my colleague about his favourite topic, mortgages and home ownership. He already raised some points that came up in committee about the new first-time home buyer incentive, which will allow the CMHC to take on 5% to 10% of the mortgages of Ca

Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, last Friday, the difference between the Liberal Party of Canada, which my colleague is a member of, and the New Democratic Party, could not have been any clearer. The NDP announced an ambitious plan to transition to green energy and a green economy. The estimated c

Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, since my colleague talked about something other than Bill C-97, I will do the same and talk about something that he must have forgotten in his speech, and that is the problems with the Phoenix pay system, which affect so many people in his riding. This topic is fres

Energy Costs  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to participate in the debate on Motion No. 230 from my Conservative Party colleague. I am pleased to have the opportunity to share my opinion. As my colleague said in his speech, he took this measure from the NDP's policy book. He even said that a numbe

Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I was pleased to hear the question my colleague asked earlier, even though she refrained from calling the figures rhetorical, unlike her colleague from the Toronto area, who characterized all of the government's figures as rhetorical without really being able to indi

Canada Revenue Agency  Mr. Speaker, he does not understand that the lack of transparency is coming from his own government. The Minister of National Revenue is in charge of the CRA. It is ridiculous. We learned that wealthy Canadians were still signing secret agreements with the CRA. The parliamentary

Canada Revenue Agency  Mr. Speaker, the years come and go, but we continue to see a lack of action on the part of the government. Yesterday, we learned that the Canada Revenue Agency once again signed a secret agreement with wealthy Canadians to avoid prosecution for tax evasion. Once again, the rich

Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I am so pleased that my colleague asked me that question. It gives me an opportunity to explain things all over again to my Liberal colleague, who keeps repeating those lines ad nauseam like some kind of mantra. During the last election campaign, the Liberal Party f

Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I have no idea where my colleague got his information. He claims that the NDP is against free trade deals, but we actually supported certain free trade agreements, even during the last Parliament. I invite him to look into it. The NDP supports free trade agreements
