Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal-created immigration application backlog is at over two million applications. People are waiting to reunite with family, spouses, children or parents. They are waiting for work permits and waiting for health care, and now we find out that tens of thousands

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, this is another example of how Canadians are paying for the Liberals' incompetence, mistakes and mismanagement. To them it is just codes, but there are real families behind these applications. People are waiting to reunite with loved ones and waiting for health care,

Carbon Tax  Mr. Speaker, my parents, like most other immigrants, came to this country for the economic opportunities available to them and for the idea that if one works hard, they can make a decent living and provide for a family. However, because of the Liberals' inflation crisis caused by

Carbon Tax  Mr. Speaker, here are some facts. Too many hard-working Canadian families are lining up at food banks just to provide food for their families. Twenty per cent of Canadians have to skip meals just to save money, and so many Canadian families are struggling to heat their homes. Now

Transportation  Mr. Speaker, whether delivering gravel, groceries or lumber, our Canadian truckers are an essential part of our supply chain and Canadian economy. However, because of the Liberals' inflation crisis, the cost of operating those trucks has skyrocketed to the point where some compa

Transportation  Mr. Speaker, there is something seriously wrong in our country when working more actually makes people lose money. To fight inflation, we need to reduce the cost of transporting goods. However, when the Liberals triple the carbon tax, that will make everything more expensive to

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Mr. Speaker, we have been very vocal that we want Canadians to pay less tax. We believe it is more effective for Canadians not to have to pay out that money and give it back to the government. We want Canadians to make a choice of where to spend that money, and many Canadians wou

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Mr. Speaker, the member talks about having a tough time. Do members know who is having a tough time? It is Canadians who are having to visit the food bank to feed their families. About 1.5 million Canadians did so in one month. That is a record for Canada, a sad record. Do member

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Mr. Speaker, the member mentioned a couple of things there and I appreciate his question. First, on health care, the fact is that right now the Liberals are spending as much as the health care transfer amount on servicing the debt they created. Right there is where we would find

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Mr. Speaker, this fall economic statement arrived during one of the most difficult financial periods in many Canadians' living memory. For my constituents of Edmonton Mill Woods and for Canadians across the country, life has become increasingly difficult. We are witnessing an unp

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, Canadians have never been paying more in taxes, all because of the Prime Minister's reckless inflation spending. While Canadians are paying more for gas, groceries and heating their homes, the Liberal government is lining its pockets on the backs of Canadians' suff

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, when will the Liberals realize they cannot spend and print their way out of an inflation crisis, one that they created? The inflation tax punishes Canadians, while the Liberals collect more in taxes, and Canadian families are suffering because of it. In fact, over 1.

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are completely out of touch with the economic crisis that Canadians are facing because of their reckless spending. Interest rates went up again today. The cost of groceries is at a 40-year high, forcing too many Canadian families to use a food bank. It

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, $200 billion had nothing to do with COVID. It did not actually help Canadians through COVID. Canadians cannot afford this Liberal-NDP coalition. It is actually making everything more expensive for Canadians. That is why interest rates went up today. I am going to as

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, what he is not telling us is that the vast majority of Canadians will not even qualify for those programs and it will just make the situation worse. The fact is that many Canadians are worried about heating their homes this winter, and too many are relying on the foo
