Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, that was not the question. Canadian steel and pipelines do not answer why Canadian companies were not consulted about the fabrication of the LNG facility itself. It is out of touch to point to steel used somewhere else in the project while ignoring Canadian fabricators who say that they can have a substantial portion of this work completed here in Canada. Thetalks [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, thepromised to build Canadian and buy Canadian. Now, LNG Canada phase two is a massive private sector investment, but the inputs for the facility portion are not coming from Canada. Canadian steel fabricators say that they have the capacity to supply significant portions of this project, but they were not consulted. Before billions of dollars of fabrication went [more]

Minister, thank you for being here today. Earlier this month, you appeared at this committee, and my colleague, Ted Falk, asked you when the EV mandate would be repealed. Your exact words were, “There is no EV mandate.” The very next hour, we had Brian Kingston from the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association here. You know him. I reiterated your response to him, and he told the committee, [more]

It hasn't been done yet.

It's been repealed in rhetoric but not in law. According to the industry experts, that EV mandate is still very much in place. We're looking for a date when it's actually going to be repealed.

Can you report the date back to this committee?

No, Minister, that's not what he was referring to.

Madam Speaker, the constituents from Vaughan—Woodbridge and, frankly, Canadians right across this entire country recognize the unique position that Canada is in with our large natural resources that we sit upon. What they would like to see the government do is move at speeds not seen before, like it promised in the last election, so we can develop the infrastructure, export our natural resources [more]

Madam Speaker, it is always a pleasure to rise on behalf of the great people of the riding of Vaughan—Woodbridge. Canadians are struggling with the cost of living, and every single dollar matters, whether it be the parent filling up the family car before taking the kids to school, the tradesperson driving from job site to job site or the truck driver delivering food that ends up in our grocery [more]

Madam Speaker, we are facing a major affordability crisis, and in that same spirit of collaboration, we would like to see the government extend this fuel tax break even further. We would also like to see it take some of our other ideas on affordability. We have a serious problem with regulations that have a stranglehold on the Canadian economy. We need serious tax reform. I believe it was a [more]

Madam Speaker, we see a theme here. The Liberal government spends 11 years recklessly destroying the Canadian economy and then wants to take credit for programs that it institutes to apparently help subsidize the people in the economy that it destroyed. To answer the member's question, we need to see the spirit of collaboration on serious things like tax reform, on things that will help us build [more]

Mr. Speaker, today we heard the minister keep talking about support packages. Oxford economists have been clear that they may soften the blow, but they will not solve the problem. Economist Trevor Tombe estimates that the government's countertariffs could cost Canadian consumers $4 billion. Meanwhile, businesses in Vaughan—Woodbridge are facing increased costs to their inputs and being forced to [more]

Mr. Speaker, a Desjardins report confirms there is a double tariff shock on manufacturing businesses here in Canada. A business owner in Woodbridge was not only hit by crushing 50% tariffs on his exports to the U.S. but also recently lost a steel drum contract due to a 50% countertariff imposed by his own government. Prime Minister Washington started this trade war, but how is thegoing to ensure [more]

Okay, thank you.
