DebateSpring Economic Update 2026 Implementation Act

La Prairie—Atateken Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with my colleague from. C-30 I rise today to speak to the spring economic statement and to confirm that I will be voting in support of Bill, an act to implement certain provisions of the spring economic update that was tabled in the House of Commons on April 28. There are many important elements within both the bill and the statement,

Mr. Speaker, I also wanted to point out that I was surprised to see the numbers. In my riding, approximately 28,000 residents will begin benefiting from the new groceries and essentials benefit in July. There are more than 14,000 residents in Nipissing—Timiskaming who qualify for dental care support, more than 12,000 elementary school students benefit from healthy meal programs, and over 10,000

InterjectionSpring Economic Update 2026 Implementation Act

Mr. Speaker, I have two comments. The International Monetary Fund speaks of Canada and its economy as being strong. It truly is the aggregate of the many organizations that work in the economic field. Canada's Infrastructure Bank is an excellent example of that. As I said, there are many other indicators that are in support of all of the various investment actions and tools that the government is

InterjectionSpring Economic Update 2026 Implementation Act

Mr. Speaker, I share my colleague's concern. It is very important to have local media. In my riding, CBC/Radio-Canada plays a very important role. The support given to local journalists is also important. This program plays an important role in our community with media outlets, such as Le Voyageur. I agree with my colleague's comment. He can count on my support in that regard.

InterjectionSpring Economic Update 2026 Implementation Act

Mr. Speaker, I understand the question fully. I would like to point out to my colleague that the International Monetary Fund is a very important organization. Practically 90% of countries across the world belong to the fund. It plays an important role in comparing economies across the world. What it states, with respect to Canada, is very important. Basically, in April, it stated that Canada,

Thank you for that precision. Thank you for clarifying that. Quickly, I see government working to modernize government operations and to thoughtfully integrate AI across the public service to help drive what we call “the digital transformation”. At the same time, there's also a renewed focus on returning to the office to work. Could you speak more about how these two priorities complement each

May 7, 2026

I think I still have a minute left.

May 7, 2026

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a quick question to follow up on the questions of my colleague. You spoke about reports. Are there any reports that tabulate complaints that come from the public regarding the government's advertising?

May 7, 2026

Thank you.

Another issue that continues to come before the committee is early retirement incentives, that it will lead to an exodus of public servants and negatively impact the service delivery capabilities of the government. Can you touch on that as well?

May 7, 2026

This question has come up at the committee before, but it continues to be raised, so I thought it was worth revisiting today to set the record straight. You've previously described the comprehensive expenditure review as a “reallocation exercise”. For the record, could you explain what a reallocation exercise is and how it relates to the comprehensive expenditure review?
