Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague. Indeed, that is another example of one of the Prime Minister's forgotten projects. That is actually why the leader of the official opposition went to Quebec City. He sat down with the Premier of Quebec in order to learn more about issues and

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, unity is the constant recognition of all Canadians from all regions all across the country. This is something that we have not seen in five years. My home in the west has been completely ignored as well as thousands of other Canadians. It is never more important th

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, unfortunately, my headphones are not working so I will not use them. I will carry on anyway. First, I would like to say that I am pleased to be here in the House, even virtually. I am also pleased to respond to the throne speech, even if it is virtually. I am pleas

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, another major investor has had enough of the Liberals' job-killing policies. Warren Buffett withdrew his promised $4-billion investment in a natural gas pipeline in Quebec. As one media outlet stated, Buffett realizes “he can't rely on a stable investment or regulat

Housing  Mr. Speaker, families in Toronto are struggling to find a home. The first-time home buyer incentive provided a glimmer of hope before the details were actually known. One cannot buy half a home in Toronto under the current incentive, leaving families with little option for home

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, Teck was forced to make this decision because the Prime Minister refused to show any real leadership. This is a loss of $70 billion to Canada's economy, money which would have gone to schools, hospitals and infrastructure, not to mention the 7,000 badly needed jobs i

Indigenous Affairs  Mr. Speaker, supplies of propane in eastern Canada are reaching a critical level and there is no reliable backup for businesses, farms and residences, including many seniors homes that need fuel. Distributors are now rationing what is in stock as they deal with energy insecurit

Indigenous Affairs  Mr. Speaker, propane shortages in Quebec are forcing companies to ration propane supplies to hospitals and farms. Capital Propane, in Quebec City, says it is rationing what is left of its seven-day supply. While contingency plans are in place and businesses are turning to trucks,

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, in recent weeks I have noticed, as the shadow minister for families, children and social development, that several ministers have dropped in to Alberta to make announcements about affordable housing for the province; 200 units here; 96 units there. However, Albertan

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. As I said, I imagine that all members have had cancer in their family. However, it is clear that we have a debt and a deficit, and there is a lot of waste. As I said in my speech, that bothers me. When we think about where to

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I recognized all of these programs to indicate just how broken our society is. In fact, I thank the speaker because I cannot think of a single better example. In the last four weeks, I had visits from the Minister of Transport and the Parliamentary Secretary for hous

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the Bloc Québécois for introducing this motion today. I would like to start by saying that I am really torn over this motion. We have an expression that explains why. The phrase is to put one's money where one's mouth is. I think this is some

Housing  Mr. Speaker, when it comes to young families looking for housing, the government gets an F. First it created the dream-killing stress test and now we learn that its first-time home buyer incentive is a flop, with mortgage value caps set too low for families in Toronto and Vanco

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I heard what the member said. We, the Conservatives, absolutely agree that not enough work was done on this agreement, particularly on aluminum. Yes, we support the Bloc. We support the province of Quebec and, of course, we support the aluminum industry. That bei

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I will just say that “when you lose, you lose”. I think of a great commercial I saw last Friday in the United States. It said “stay home, save 100%”. This would apply in this situation. It is fine to look for little gains. I mentioned that this was good enough. Ult
