Mr. Speaker, some things have changed since the Harper days, thankfully. One of them is refinery margins, which are up by 40¢ in Canada. Forty cents, that is a curious number. Refinery margins are up because of the loss of petrol. One other thing that has not changed is that the Leader of the Opposition is against child care. He is against dental care. He is against pharmacare. He is against [more]

Mr. Speaker, this government is moving forward this economy in the face of a global energy crisis, in the face of a tariff crisis and in the face of wars. This country is the second-strongest economy in the G7. We are growing strong. We have the strongest fiscal position in the G7. We have a plan. Canada has a bright future.

Mr. Speaker, as I rose in this House a few weeks ago and made clear, this government will always defend private property rights. That is why this government immediately appealed the decision with respect to Cowichan, on September 8. We fundamentally disagree with the B.C. Supreme Court's decision. We will use all viable legal options to address and protect private property rights, always, in [more]

Mr. Speaker, we need to respect democracy, we need to respect the laws of Parliament and the decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada. Under the Clarity Act, the House of Commons must consider the following factors to establish the definition of a clear vote: “the size of the majority of valid votes cast in favour of the secessionist option [and] the percentage of eligible voters voting in the [more]

Mr. Speaker, Liberal policies are delivering wages for Canadians that are growing faster than inflation.

Mr. Speaker, we obey the laws of Canada. The Clarity Act is clear, but we respect the will of Quebeckers, which is to build a strong and resilient Quebec within a strong, resilient and independent Canada.

Mr. Speaker, it is sad. The person who is tossing and turning every night is the Leader of the Opposition, trying to come up with new ways to stoke fear and division in this country. We will always defend private property rights in this country. That is why we immediately appealed. That is why we are acceding with the Montrose claim. That is why we are supporting the City of Richmond and the [more]

Mr. Speaker, the government has already cut the consumer carbon tax. That was 18¢ per litre. We suspended the federal fuel tax. Some things have changed since the time of the Harper government, such as the impact on refineries and the impact of supply shortages. However, one thing never changes. The Leader of the Opposition still opposes all measures that support Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, as Prime Minister, I have to heed the experts' advice. I have just received the experts' opinion on the applicability of the Clarity Act. It does not apply to Alberta's question. However, according to the Clarity Act, in Canada, there must be a clear expression of a will by a clear majority of the population of that province in order to have a true vote on secession.
