York—South Simcoe Madam Speaker, I will be sharing my speaking time with the member for. The price of diesel is still extremely high in Quebec this week. For farmers, truck drivers and all the businesses that depend on fuel to survive, this means having to pay hundreds, even thousands of dollars more every day just to be able to keep on working. Where does every price hike at the pump end up?
Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, all of this government's ministers are following the Liberal's lead. They are giving us words, slogans, announcements and theatrics but never any results or real answers for Canadians. On August 22, the Prime Minister said that Canada was at war with the United States. When we asked him why, he simply said that it was because the Americans had attacked us. Is it
Madam Speaker, I would like to welcome my colleague. He is fairly new here in the House. I hope he is enjoying his current seat. That said, he should bear in mind the changes that have taken place over the last few months. They tried to make us believe that the Liberal Party had changed, but it is still the same Liberal Party. It is a party that prefers taxes over leaving more money in people's
moved that the bill be now read the third time and passed. He said: Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleagues. It is always emotional to rise in the House to introduce a private member's bill. In 11 years, this is the first time I have had the opportunity to introduce a bill. It is a special occasion because there are so many of us in the House and so few of us get a chance to present our bills. I
moved that the bill, as amended, be concurred in at report stage.
Madam Speaker, can my colleague predict when the conflict in Iran will end? Can she do that? The answer is no. What the Liberals are telling us is that they will wait and see what happens later. For months and months, they are going to keep taking money out of the pockets of Canadians, and then maybe, when the price of gas and diesel comes down enough, they will decide to do something about it.
Mr. Speaker, I will try to answer in English. This bill could change the lives of a lot of kids and young people in this country. By principle, I think all of us are here to make life better for every Canadian. We do not always agree on the way to do it, but on this particular file, I am really proud that everyone is supporting the fact that we have a role to play. We can help if we just change
How much time do I have, Mr. Speaker? I just read some comments on my social media, and everybody said that David was very polite. He was a good worker. He was respectful of everyone. He was the one who always took the time to give us a hug, me and his mother. He was a guy who was always taking care of his sisters. He was kind of a brilliant man. He had a great future until he met this bad
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his contribution in committee. I want him to know that the sooner we get to work, the sooner we will be able to really change things. Kumbaya However, things are already going well, because everyone in the House agrees that we should pass the bill quickly. Everyone in the House agrees with the principle. The bill has to go to the other place now. I
Mr. Speaker, we request a recorded division.
Madam Speaker, I support any proposal that leaves more money in consumers' pockets, but there is one aspect that troubles me. The problem with the approach proposed by my colleague is that it creates more bureaucracy, because people are needed to do the counting and the calculations. We Conservatives say that all taxes should be suspended quickly, immediately, until Canada Day next July. I
Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, their styles may differ, but this Liberalhas the same obsession with grand theatrical announcements as his predecessor. This is just like the solemn promise to buy and build in Canada. It was all just hot air, because he has done exactly the opposite ever since making that promise. Government procurement from American companies has increased by 50%, and $8 billion of
Mr. Speaker, I think I had four minutes left to answer questions from last Friday.
Mr. Speaker, we reserve the right to speak to the issue raised by my Bloc Québécois colleague.
Mr. Speaker, before I begin, allow me to acknowledge the work of the firefighters from Lac-Mégantic, Nantes, Lac-Drolet and Audet, who yesterday fought a fire that devastated an apartment block near Lac-Mégantic town centre. Several residents were impacted and lost their homes, and the Red Cross is there to support them. Fortunately, no one was injured thanks to the support and assistance of
