Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize one of Oshawa's most cherished annual traditions, Fiesta Week. For 52 years, Fiesta Week has brought our community together through cultural performances, traditional foods, costumes and displays from around the world. This year, residents and visitors will once again experience long-standing Greek, Caribbean, French Canadian, Polish, German, Ukrainian, [more]

Mr. Speaker, we are all up here and have lots of questions for this member, so I am grateful that you called on me. Last Friday, I spent some time with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in Oshawa, and we talked about money for the trades. I can appreciate that they are giving the Liberals some props for putting money towards that, but they have a real concern, and I have one [more]

Mr. Speaker, once again, Canadians are not asking for excuses or these so-called half measures that the Liberals mention. They deserve relief. Every time my neighbours in Oshawa fill up their tank, buy groceries or pay rent, they feel the impact of Liberal inflation. The Conservatives have a real plan to put money back into Canadians' pockets by removing all federal fuel taxes for all the year [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, under this, we have the same old, same old, costly Liberals: more taxes, more debt, more on the national credit card and nothing to show for the waste. finance minister In April, gas prices exploded by 28.6¢ per litre, the largest monthly increase on record, hammering Canadians every time they fill up, and driving up the cost of everything. Now, the Liberalhas even [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, I find it remarkable to listen to the finance minister talk about how Canadians demand action, when auto workers in Oshawa have been asking for action from the government for well over a year. They believed theduring the election campaign, when he said he was the guy to get a deal. They believed him when he said he would go to Washington and get a deal by July 21 last [more]

Mr. Speaker, I really appreciate the member's speech, and I want to just bring things back a bit. One part of her speech basically was about the shallow so-called half-measures, which is what we are calling them, of the Liberal government to provide relief for issues that it has caused. I am wondering if her constituents are seeing what mine are, that the reality does not match the illusion, the [more]

Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the words coming from the parliamentary secretary, and I can agree with some of them. As a woman, I know that women are more predominantly the victims of sexual misconduct and sexual assault, so this bill means something to me. However, for women and all victims and survivors of sexual assault, the thing that is taken from them is choice at that time. I would suggest [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, when will the Liberals realize that they keep having to create these support programs because they created the crisis in the first place? Even with these programs, young people are still worse off than ever before. Clearly, the programs do not work. Under the, Canadians are seeing the same old Liberal agenda we saw under Justin Trudeau, only worse. There are more [more]

Mr. Speaker, young Canadians are working hard, getting an education and trying to build a future. However, after 11 years of costly Liberal policies, they are still struggling to find good jobs. The Fraser Institute reports youth unemployment has surged to almost 19%, with young Canadians unemployed longer than at any other point since the records began. Prime Minister When will thestop being [more]

Thank you. I want you to just answer that question, though.

C-30 C-22 Over a decade ago, the Liberal government warned that government rhetoric shut down meaningful debate on that iteration, Bill's lawful access provisions, yet today this committee is being asked to study similar powers without access to the consultation report that informed how to proceed with lawful access reform in Bill. That report is essential to any meaningful scrutiny and [more]

The difference between the Five Eyes and our country is that we have a charter—
