Madam Speaker, the cost of living has skyrocketed over the past 11 years under this Liberal government. Whether it is the price of housing or homes, which has tripled, or the price of groceries, gas or diesel, which has doubled in recent years, everything is more expensive under this inflationary and completely irresponsible government. Even a Thanksgiving meal is no longer affordable for [more]

Prime Minister Madam Speaker, this week, the's parliamentary secretary told the House that everything is going well in Canada, that the cost of housing is dropping and that job creation is up across the country. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister recently asked us to give him a break because he just got here, even though he has been here for 18 months already. Today, we learned that 50,000 jobs were [more]

Madam Speaker, we are in a cost of living crisis. People are struggling to keep a roof over their heads. Gas is expensive. The cost of diesel has doubled in a year, and home prices have tripled in the last 10 or 11 years of Liberal governance. As if that were not bad enough, we are also learning that people are losing their jobs. In the past two months, August and September, 68,000 jobs were lost [more]

Yes, I assume my fellow members received the amendments. Given the breakneck speed of technological change and the CRTC's failure to serve our regions, Beauce and all other rural areas in Canada, even though we've been fighting for years for a network, I don't think it's unreasonable to require that a review be undertaken every two years. I am therefore asking my fellow members to support this [more]

Thank you.

I saw the news release you put out on Friday, October 2. You're taking action to obtain clearer information on cellphone coverage. That's good news. It's a funny coincidence, I'll call it, since the information came out right before your appearance before the committee. Why did it take so long to get things moving?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will split my time with Mr. Gill. Welcome to our witnesses, Ms. Wright, Mr. Carter and Ms. Frenette. The CRTC is telling us that 99.4% of Canadians have access to reliable network connectivity. Figures are well and good, but that's not the reality on the ground. Cellphone service in Beauce, my riding, is horrible. I'll be polite: there is zero coverage. It just doesn't [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, the Liberalfailed in the trade talks with the Americans. The Liberals have completely abandoned Canada's steel industry. Today, steel is being hit with tariffs of up to 100%. In Beauce alone, that represents over 3,000 jobs that are at risk. Just ask the 350 Stelco employees who lost their jobs. We are talking about 350 jobs that have been lost. That is the result of [more]

Mr. Speaker, businesses in the Beauce region have nothing to learn from Liberal ministers. The only thing more costly than a tariff is a Liberal minister who thinks they know more about business than entrepreneurs do. That is what is really costly. While they do nothing more than talk, operating costs are skyrocketing. Take Structure SBL, for example, which is facing an additional $4 million in [more]

Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are completely out of touch with reality. Can they stop trying to save the planet and start looking after Canadians? This week, I talked about Chantal, who has three children and is struggling financially. Today, I want to talk about Nick and his partner in Beauce, who dream of buying a home. After 11 years of Liberal government, house prices have tripled. For thousands [more]

Mr. Speaker, after 11 years of disastrous Liberal management, life is becoming increasingly expensive for Canadians. This government keeps wasting tens of billions of dollars on international aid, fake asylum seekers, mass illegal immigration and the disastrous Alto project. It is time to start saving Canadians money. Will the Liberals agree to the Conservatives' proposal to suspend all federal [more]

Mr. Speaker, they are completely disconnected from reality. I am sorry, but the minister's answer is not going to put food on Chantal's table. Chantal is a single mother in Saint‑Georges. She works full-time but still needs to use food banks. After she pays her rent and bills, there is not enough money left over to feed her children. Chantal is not alone. This morning, I spoke with people at [more]

Mr. Speaker, after 11 years of Liberal rule, even full-time workers are having a hard time making ends meet at the end of the month. According to the National Payroll Institute, half of all employed Canadians now report spending all, or sometimes more, of their net pay. That means that families are being forced to go into debt just to put food on the table. The Conservatives have identified over [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, thewas elected on a promise to reach an agreement with the Americans. Today, that promise is in ruins. The unjustified escalation of the tariffs and retaliatory tariffs is causing our companies' operating costs to soar. Norgate Metal in Beauce is already projecting $7 million in additional costs for its current contracts alone. Ultimately, Canadians are the ones who [more]

Mr. Speaker, we are going to give him some very important information about the counter-tariffs. Prime Minister The Liberal Party and's failed negotiations are hurting our economy. Our businesses are paying a fortune. I will give some real examples. The garage door manufacturer Garaga will be paying $1.5 million a month. Beauce Atlas will be paying $550,000 a week. You heard me, Mr. Speaker: [more]
