Madam Speaker, there is the nuclear deal with Westinghouse, the hydroelectric deal with Evolugen, pension funds with the Maple Fund, real estate deals for data centres, the European Space Agency campus, and now there is Enercare and its heat pumps. Yes, Canada is now in the heat pump business. Come on. Prime Minister People are struggling to put food on the table, but there is no need to worry, [more]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to speak to the question of privilege raised earlier this week. C-40 Data and details from Billwere leaked. For those listening, what does that mean? Bill C-40 relates to national defence. To begin with, we should recognize that this is an important matter. However, journalists were granted privileged access to parts of this bill even before it was introduced here in [more]

Prime Minister Madam Speaker, who administers the's conflict of interest screen? It is his chief of staff and the Clerk of the Privy Council, both of whom report directly to the Prime Minister. Meanwhile, Brookfield is active in the nuclear, energy, real estate, and infrastructure sectors. Yesterday, the Liberals announced yet another debt-financed program. It involves investing $2 billion in [more]

Mr. Speaker, that is true. As I said at the start of my speech, nearly 14,000 people replied to my survey and nearly 11,000 people commented directly. The message was clear: The cost of living is out of control. Young people need hope. They need to believe in their future. They need to know that if they work hard, they can succeed. We cannot lead them to believe that the only way to get ahead is [more]

Mr. Speaker, clearly we are not knocking on the same doors because, when I meet with constituents, they find the cost of living appalling, and they hate the decisions being made here. Every time the Liberals make announcements and ask people to look at how they are spending money when they launch a program, people understand that the money being spent is money we do not have. The government is [more]

Mr. Speaker, we never said it was not an important thing to do; we said that the money had to be spent logically and effectively. Norway invested $45 million in a similar project and owns 90% of it. Someone needs to explain who signed off on giving $200 million to Liberal cronies for a project in which Canada has no stake.

Mr. Speaker, the independent officers of Parliament are all sounding the alarm, one after the other. The Information Commissioner of Canada recently wrote to the Senate to warn it that the Liberal government is concealing more and more records and shunning transparency. This week, we learned from the foreign influence transparency commissioner that just 1% of foreign agents have registered in the [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, I will pick up where I left off. While families are counting every dollar, we must ask ourselves a question about public finances: Is the Liberal government holding itself to the same standard it expects of our youth? I would remind the House that thetold young people that they should tighten their belts. Let us look at this together. The federal government's spring [more]

Mr. Speaker, I ran a poll on social media a few months ago, asking people how things were going in their lives. I wanted to find out how they felt about the government's decisions and I asked them how they were doing, basically. I have received 14,798 responses and 11,000 comments so far. Seven out of 10 comments talk about the cost of living and about how badly they are struggling. Eleven [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, theis travelling around the world. He is going to Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and China. In 2025, China was recognized as a threat to national security because it interfered in our elections. Today, the government is discussing national defence with the Chinese government. Meanwhile, the foreign influence transparency commissioner reports that there are 2,422 foreign [more]

Mr. Speaker, that is an excellent question. Indeed, the cost of living is going up, but the income of seniors and retirees is not. Every month, they have to make difficult choices. I have received many messages from people telling me that they are retired and will be forced to sell their homes because they can no longer make ends meet. This summer, the Conservatives made an announcement on this [more]

Mr. Speaker, where are the results for taxpayers? Every week, the Liberals stand up to tell us how proud they are of their program. They are running a deficit. They are mailing out cheques to Canadians that just add more money to the debt. Canada has the fourth-largest oil reserves in the world. We should not have to pay more for a product that we have in greater quantities than elsewhere. The [more]

Mr. Speaker, our farmers are struggling. When their operating costs skyrocket, it is families who end up footing the bill at the grocery store. This morning, I was talking to egg farmer Bruno Gosselin from Œufs d'Orléans. He told me that his diesel bill has gone up 62% this year. Mr. Gosselin told me that nothing was really being done to improve their lives and that the governments were washing [more]

Mr. Speaker, here we have another plan that is completely out of touch. The Liberals are always talking about programs they are implementing by sending cheques to Canadians. The problem is that the Liberals have put us in the hole with their years of deficits. The deficit will be $65 billion this year, with a projected deficit of $60 billion per year for another five years. The cheques they mail [more]

Mr. Speaker, it is always quite something to hear that. First, the opposition is playing its part. We have offered up plenty of solutions here in the House, and the Liberals, unfortunately, are stealing our ideas. However, since they did not come up with these ideas themselves, they do not know how to implement them. They have scrapped the excise tax on gasoline, but temporarily and only [more]

Mr. Speaker, Benjamin is 20 years old. He comes from my riding of Montmorency—Charlevoix. School was not always easy for him. Although he struggled to finish his studies, he later completed a vocational diploma in sheet metal work. Now he works six days a week. He gets up at 4 a.m. to install ventilation systems in homes in Quebec, homes that he knows very well he will never be able to afford. [more]
