Mr. Speaker, I am very happy to ask a question of my colleague from Kings—Hants. He referred to a big announcement today about heat pumps. Can he repeat to me what the benefits are of the great project he referred to?

Mr. Speaker, I must admit that I am surprised by the question because in my speech, I presented all the projects currently on the table. I am very proud that we already have 70 of them in my riding, and there is affordable housing throughout Canada. We are working to drive innovation in the construction sector to make it more environmentally friendly and more affordable. We have achieved concrete [plus]

Mr. Speaker, I thank my opposition colleague for raising the issue of seniors. We talk to seniors every week because we know that many of them are struggling with the cost of living. We need to find solutions to give them the support they need to get through these tough times. After a lifetime of contributing to our society, they are entitled to affordable housing. I am happy to work with my [plus]

Kings—Hants Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with my colleague from. I think we can all recognize the importance of the issue raised by the motion before us today. Canadians are living through a period of economic uncertainty marked by global instability and the rising cost of living. In this context, our government is focusing on what it can control: building a strong Canadian economy, [plus]

Prime Minister Carney Mr. Speaker, I meet with a lot of organizational representatives and individuals. They talk to me about the impact they are seeing on the ground. They see projects taking root and getting built. They also see that we in government have the wherewithal to work effectively with them and with all stakeholders to help find solutions and implement the right programs. To conclude, [plus]

Mr. Speaker, I want to point out to my colleague that it is up to regional MPs to reach out to local mayors to talk about Build Canada Homes and learn about opportunities to secure affordable housing and land in the region. These members need to work with us to round out the information on Build Canada Homes and accelerate project implementation. It is up to members to do the work on the ground [plus]

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to welcome to Parliament students from Académie Ste‑Thérèse, an institution that has been deeply rooted in our community for over 40 years now. Académie Ste‑Thérèse supports young people aged five to 17 from more than 1,000 families in the Laurentians and Laval, with a mission that perfectly sums up its ambition: to create a bright future for its students. [plus]

Mr. Speaker, this week we are celebrating Gender Equality Week. Today, 71 women sit as members of the Liberal caucus—the largest women's caucus in the history of Canada's Parliament—where they exercise strong leadership. Women also play a crucial role in our cultural sector, an area that means a great deal to me. They represent 54% of Canada's artists. That number, however, conceals a glass [plus]

Thank you, Mr. Sorensen. Carney We've asked a lot of questions about what happened in the past, but I'm interested in what will happen in the future. In your opinion, given the current geopolitical situation, the growth of the global francophone market—you talked about new markets you want to develop—and the dynamic in Canada with Prime Ministerand what we want to achieve, what more can Air [plus]

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Sorensen, it's a pleasure to welcome you to the committee and to be able to have a discussion in both languages. We really appreciate it. You've been on the board of directors since 2006. Your new CEO will assume office in January. If he asks you why both official languages are important in Canada, what will you tell him?

Thank you. I am indeed a proud Quebecker. However, as a Canadian, I know that we want to grow the francophonie across the country. What is your company's role in that? What will you and the board of directors tell your CEO so he understands that developing the francophonie in Canada is an asset for your company? What clear priority will you set for the CEO to ensure that he develops the [plus]

I have one last question. Air Canada is an international company. You yourself are Dane. Now, if we want to have a Canadian as CEO, is that something you would consider?

C-38 Mr. Speaker, the global economy is undergoing a rupture. Geopolitical threats are mounting, and countries around the world are grappling with severe trade disruptions and significant economic risks. This includes the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, which continues to disrupt global energy supplies, drive up energy prices and increase uncertainty worldwide. Canada, as we all know, is not [plus]

Mr. Speaker, Canada's economy has demonstrated considerable resilience during one of the most challenging periods in recent history, and our SMEs know that our government is there to help them with all our programs to make a difference for them. Therefore, despite ongoing geopolitical instability, trade disruption and economic uncertainties, Canadians continue to benefit from a strong economy, [plus]

Mr. Speaker, one of the things that I really like about adjournment proceedings is that it does allow us the chance to publicly correct the record. Conservatives were very quick to say that Canada was in a technical recession. We now know that is not the case. In August, Statistics Canada confirmed that the Canadian economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.3% in the second quarter, and also [plus]
