An Act Respecting Regulatory Modernization  Madam Speaker, it really feels like I just read an issue of National Geographic. As Bill S-6 goes into its third rendition, I would like to ask my colleague if he would prefer more of a stakeholder consultation approach or a hands-off government approach, and what he thinks the

An Act Respecting Regulatory Modernization  Madam Speaker, it warms my heart to see that we both care about our counterparts at the municipal level. We both have hope for more housing in Quebec and Alberta—

An Act Respecting Regulatory Modernization  Madam Speaker, I am certainly not going to let any member in this House, be they from that part of the government or the part of the government back there, deter me from a future that I believe is better for Canadians, and that is a Conservative government. These individuals can

An Act Respecting Regulatory Modernization  Madam Speaker, the government is not getting results. It is absolutely evident. We have had individuals from other parties talk about the necessity of providing housing at all different scales of the housing continuum. Our platform has done this in the past as well. I do not kno

An Act Respecting Regulatory Modernization  Madam Speaker, my wonderful colleague from Edmonton Manning is absolutely correct. I indicated this concern in my speech. I am very concerned what this glacial pace of re-evaluating regulations and policies means for the economic future and security future of our nation. On a dai

An Act Respecting Regulatory Modernization  Madam Speaker, I am glad my colleague from Kingston and the Islands had an opportunity to weigh in on this conversation today. First of all, I have the utmost respect for our civic politicians. I want to give a special shout-out to Dan McLean, who represents Ward 13 on Calgary C

An Act Respecting Regulatory Modernization  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Mirabel for his question. I also want to thank him again for his bill, Bill C-290. The idea he just mentioned was part of our platform in the last two election campaigns. I am pretty sure about that with respect to individua

An Act Respecting Regulatory Modernization  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleagues for ensuring that the debate stays relevant. Certainly the amount of money the Liberal government is spending is critical to every bill, so thank you, Madam Speaker, for overseeing the discussion as I continue my interaction here today. As I

An Act Respecting Regulatory Modernization  Madam Speaker, it is always a pleasure to rise in the House and speak on behalf of the constituents of Calgary Midnapore. Of course, as the shadow minister for the Treasury Board, I am responsible for critiquing this bill and overseeing the debate for the official opposition this

Public Service Strike  Mr. Speaker, 155,000 public servants are on strike, and we find ourselves in this situation only because of the Prime Minister's failure to strike a deal. It takes a special type of incompetence by the Liberal government to increase public service spending by 53%, or $21 billion,

Labour  Mr. Speaker, Canadians are in desperate need of their tax refunds. After eight years of the Liberal government, Canadians are receiving poorer services despite a 50% increase in the bureaucracy. Outside these doors, we have the largest public service strike in the history of Can

Labour  Mr. Speaker, an open letter does not cut it. We need a negotiated agreement to end this strike. The Prime Minister had two years to come to a negotiated agreement, and he failed. As a result, we have seniors who are mailing in their tax returns and do not know when they are going

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, first, I would like to thank the Bloc Québécois for its Bill C‑290, which is currently before the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates. Of course we agree that workers' rights are important. I think that we can also agree that the government

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, we have expressed continually, both in our platform and in our policy, that we are for supply at all levels of the spectrum and with all players of society. Certainly, while these non-governmental entities are important, we also need to work with developers as well

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, while we always need to look forward to the future, I think it is very important that we also stay focused on the present and what Canadians and the world need. We have had other nations ask us for our oil and gas, and we have turned them away. It is always very im
