The Budget  Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition was in Hamilton several weeks ago as part of his “make Canada great again” tour, and he talked about dismantling the national housing strategy, which is a strategy that has built units in the member's riding. In fact, I know that there we

Public Accounts committee  Thank you. Something that I didn't see in the report was the cost of providing housing. There are references there that talk about the challenges indigenous communities face in rural and remote communities in terms of transportation and servicing issues. I think they're referred

Public Accounts committee  Thank you. Ms. Wilson, with infrastructure and essential services, it's oftentimes a responsibility shared among three levels of government, including first nations governments, in terms of the resources they have to contribute to upgrade the same. Provincially, is there a pla

Public Accounts committee  My last question would be around the whole issue relating to those small communities that don't have capacity right now to not just manage but to apply for the programs that Mr. Tremblay talked about. Are there small communities that have raised those issues in terms of even be

Public Accounts committee  Thanks for having me, Mr. Chair. Welcome to our witnesses. Mr. Tremblay, a theme that was developed in the Auditor General's report was almost one of haves and have-nots. In the smaller communities, I think we're at a disadvantage in terms of accessing funding, either through t

Public Accounts committee  Mr. Chair, on a point of order, I get the fact that there's a question that's being asked, but I can't hear a word because the person who's asking the question keeps talking over the witness.

Labour  Mr. Speaker, our government believes workplaces should be safe, respectful, and free from harassment and violence. The Canada Labour Code includes numerous provisions to that effect, and Canada has international obligations that outline that same commitment. One year ago today, C

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I sat through the speech of the Leader of the Opposition this morning, and we certainly know what he is against. He has waged a war against science. He has waged a war against climate change. He has waged a war against green infrastructure investments and the green e

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Mr. Speaker, honestly, if I did not work here, I would pay money to just hear stuff like that every day of the week. In all seriousness, we have heard a couple of references this evening and today about plagiarism. Political plagiarism reigns supreme on the other side of the Hou

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Mr. Speaker, that was a bit hard to listen to, because I was a municipal councillor at the time the member for Carleton was the housing minister. Municipalities begged and pleaded with the minister of the day for housing resources and none came. When we talk about support for mu

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Mr. Speaker, my friend and colleague highlighted the difference between our housing platform and the opposition's. While the Leader of the Opposition seems to be applying for the position of the Canadian The Apprentice host, we are busy working with stakeholders. Instead of threa

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Madam Speaker, there was not a lot in that on the bill in front of us on the Competition Act or removing GST from purpose-built rentals, but I will take the member up on his reference to plagiarism. We have certainly witnessed a lot of political plagiarism over the last several w

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, that was interesting to listen to. There was some real revisionist history there. The member opposite referenced political relationships with dictators, and I am going to pick up on that. It is no secret that the member for Carleton has hitched his political wago

British Home Children  Madam Speaker, this week I met with Lori Oschefski and representatives of Home Children Canada, an organization raising public awareness about an important time in our history when Canada's immigration laws facilitated the flow of orphaned or low-income children to be immigrated

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, we continue to see one party in the House spread misinformation. I heard a “falsehood” earlier, and that term is used in response to my colleague. Whether it is the member for Sarnia—Lambton talking about battery fires with EVs, the member for Niagara West talkin
