Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, I understand that the Prime Minister feels really bad about the situation. However, the legislation enacted in 2015 clearly states that the RCMP is in charge of the operations of the Parliamentary Protective Service, which was put in place at that time in the wake o

Guests in the House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, here are a few of the international headlines that are making the rounds following Friday's incident: “‘Deeply hurtful’: Polish ambassador condemns Nazi veteran's invitation to Canada's Parliament”, “Unacceptable: Controversy in Canada after tribute paid to former Na

Guests in the House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, what the government does not seem to understand is that it had a responsibility. Let us remember that, in 2015, legislative amendments were made to make the Parliamentary Protective Service responsible for doing checks on individuals to ensure that there are no safe

Guests in the House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, on Friday, we had the privilege of welcoming the Ukrainian president here in the House of Commons. Unfortunately, one of the special guests was a Nazi. When a major event is being put together, the Prime Minister's Office has to be made aware and order a screening of

Guests in the House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, all members of the House expect the government and the Prime Minister's Office to do some research when it comes to guests here in Parliament. Now that it has welcomed an individual who was a member of a Nazi unit responsible for murdering thousands of Jews, our trus

Finance  Mr. Speaker, news reports this morning show that in all of Canada, Quebeckers are struggling with inflation the most. Housing costs have climbed by 16.7%, while mortgage interest costs have jumped by 37% and gasoline by 51.5%. The Prime Minister seems intent on making things wor

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, that is just a load of hogwash. People in Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles understand that being a Liberal is not all it is cracked up to be. The Bloc Québécois and the Liberals know that the carbon tax is driving up the cost of goods and contributing to inflation.

Finance  Mr. Speaker, I would like to know what the minister thinks of a former Liberal finance minister, John Manley, who said that the Prime Minister's deficits are like stepping on the gas when it comes to inflation. This forces the Bank of Canada to step harder on the brakes by increa

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals came up with the carbon tax and now the Bloc Québécois is proposing to drastically increase it. The Bloc Québécois claims to stand up for the interests of Quebeckers, but let us be clear, the Bloc wants to take money from Quebeckers and hand it over to t

Housing  Mr. Speaker, after eight years with this Prime Minister, Canadians are in double jeopardy. The price of housing has doubled, and the Bank of Canada is warning that mortgage payments could increase by more than 40%. Let us remember that, before the tabling of budget 2023, the Min

Housing  Mr. Speaker, does the Minister of Finance know that mortgage payments for an average home are now $3,560 a month? That represents a 151% increase since the Prime Minister took office. In the Liberal ridings of Montreal, people need to earn at least $113,500 a year to even hope

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister and cabinet have never taken responsibility for their many acts committed in bad faith. For example, the Minister of Public Safety alone has misled the House no less than seven times. He even misled a judge by backdating documents. He should have

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, the Correctional Service of Canada took the trouble to inform the Prime Minister's Office three months ago that Paul Bernardo was being transferred to a medium-security prison. Did anyone in the Prime Minister's Office think to have the common sense to contact the f

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, CBC is reporting that the Minister of Public Safety's staff found out Paul Bernardo was going to be transferred to a medium-security institution three months before it happened. However, neither the deputy minister nor senior officials knew about it. No one other th

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, the minister admits that there has been a series of mistakes in his office. We saw the same thing in January, when the minister said that the safe third country agreement was working very well at Roxham Road. Meanwhile, hundreds of illegal migrants were entering Can
