Employment Insurance Act Mr. Speaker, as has been said today and throughout the course of this debate, the arrival of a new child is one of the most important times in a parent's life. It is a time of great joy and excitement; however, a growing family also presents added pressure on parents. Parenting d

Housing Mr. Speaker, even the Liberal finance minister has admitted that her government's deficit spending is fuelling inflation, but the Liberals just keep pouring fuel on the inflationary fire. After eight years, Canadians cannot afford it. The more that those Liberals spend, the more

Housing Mr. Speaker, after eight years, Liberal-driven inflation is costing Canadians. The Prime Minister's massive deficit spending has caused record inflation and resulted in repeated interest rate hikes. Canada's housing market is now the most at risk of any developed country. The lat

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleagues for respecting me on this side. This whole process has been very frustrating for me. I am the mother of four children. I have a 10-year-old, a seven-year-old, a three-year-old and a one-year-old. I have had two of those children while

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act Madam Speaker, honestly, we should just listen to the parents whom this model does not work for. It does not work for them, and it is unfortunate that the Liberals just want to play partisan games instead of actually making it inclusive for everyone.

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act Madam Speaker, there is a five-year limit with the agreements, so this is not forever. That is one thing to make note of. Bill C-35 does not create new spaces. Sure, there are parents who already have their kids in a child care centre or use whatever model is accepted by their p

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act Madam Speaker, it is funny that the member asked me that question. I got involved in politics because the current Prime Minister's 2015 platform negatively harmed my family in how we wanted to raise our children. Absolutely the Conservatives care about families. We care about c

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act Madam Speaker, I just want to note I will be splitting my time this evening with the member for Elgin—Middlesex—London.

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act Madam Speaker, at committee, and even in the House, we have heard the minister and the parliamentary secretary bragging about the pillars of this legislation: equality, affordability, availability, accessibility and inclusiveness.

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure to get up twice. I really appreciate that. I want to follow up again on the labour discussion we were having.

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act Madam Speaker, as Conservatives, we did move an amendment at committee.

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act Madam Speaker, I had a conversation yesterday with an intended mother who was telling me about the difficulties when it comes to surrogacy and the lack of time that surrogate mothers and fathers have with their children after the baby is born.

The Economy Mr. Speaker, the consequences of eight years of a Liberal government are painfully evident. The costs of food, housing and fuel have hit historic highs. Canadians are visiting food banks at record levels. Household debt in Canada has reached an all-time high, and now, amongst adv
