Housing Mr. Speaker, that is interesting, considering that my colleague who asked the question has no plan to fix the situation. We have a plan to make the investments needed to build housing. For example, we signed an agreement with Quebec to build 8,000 affordable housing units. To c

Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, I am curious about whether the hon. member has actually approached Conservative premiers across Canada, who maintain their own taxes on fuel. In particular, in the province of Alberta, Danielle Smith has increased the price of fuel by 13ยข and offers no rebate. I expe

Housing Madam Speaker, I appreciate the question. It is a very interesting question, coming from a member who supports a plan that is devoid of any measures to assist renters or build affordable housing, but that does include measures that increase tax rates on new apartments. That is

Housing Madam Speaker, if my hon. friend is interested in a tragedy of oversights, I would direct him to the plan put forward by his leader when it comes to housing, which does not advance a single measure designed to help renters with the cost of living. The plan that he is now campaign

Finance Madam Speaker, first, to correct the misinformation, there is money flowing to projects, including in the member's province, as we speak. We have signed multi-billion dollar deals with provinces to build housing. We have invested billions more to help in the construction of nearl

Housing Madam Speaker, we understand the very serious challenges that families are facing when it comes to the cost of housing, which is why we put a plan on the table that is designed to solve Canada's national housing crisis. What is fascinating is that, in the member's own riding, we

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023 Madam Speaker, there are a number of pieces of misinformation included in my colleague's question.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023 Madam Speaker, with all due respect, I disagree with my colleague.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023 Madam Speaker, there are a number of people who watch politics and there are a number of people who count on us to do our jobs who do not watch it that closely.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023 Madam Speaker, my colleague is quite right to point out the members for Vancouver East and Nunavut for their advocacy, alongside a number of members from different parties in the House.
