Madam Speaker, this Thanksgiving, Canadians should know that we are stepping up to support them with the cost of living. We have cut taxes on income, housing, fuel and new business investment, while we have moved forward with affordability measures like the Canada groceries and essentials benefit, which will put $1,890 over the course of the next year in families' pockets. We also moved forward [more]

Madam Speaker, last Saturday, I was proud to join survivors, families and advocates at the Walk to End Intimate Partner Violence, in Durham region. Sadly, statistics show that more than four in 10 women in Canada will experience intimate partner violence in their lifetime. Behind those numbers are our friends, neighbours, co-workers and loved ones. Today, I want to recognize the organizations [more]

Madam Speaker, what would lower food costs is if the member actually stood up and supported jobs in the Durham region. She and her party voted against the Canada Growth Fund, which invested $2 billion in the new nuclear project at Darlington, creating 18,000 construction jobs and 3,700 jobs in operations once the SMRs are in operation. That is significant support. That is how we build an [more]

Prime Minister Madam Speaker, while the Conservatives focus on QP skits and clips for their online social media feeds to scare Canadians, we are stepping up to support them every step of the way. We are investing in our economy and have made generational investments. We have cut taxes on income, housing, fuel and new business investment. In fact, the productivity mega deduction that theannounced [more]

Madam Speaker, I should not need to remind any member of the House that we are in a trade war, and a trade war causes economic volatility. The job numbers last month reflect that volatility; that is clear, and we empathize with Canadians who might be struggling to keep their jobs. What we are doing is controlling what we can. We have cut taxes on income, housing, fuel and new business [more]

Madam Speaker, the hon. member for Regina—Lewvan should hold his provincial government accountable to the agreements that it signed with the federal government. We transferred significant amounts of federal taxpayer dollars to every province and territory in the country in order to expand the number of child care spots. We are committed to child care because we know it works. It is a great [more]

Madam Speaker, the hon. member for Regina—Lewvan and I have had lots of spirited debates in this House before, and I appreciate his question. I do have a family. I have three daughters and a wife. I am very proud of them and very happy to support them. I do a lot of the grocery shopping in my family and, in fact, a lot of the cooking, which I enjoy very much. The member opposite should be able [more]

Madam Speaker, that is the question I prepared to answer, not the member opposite's suggestions. Although I do not discount good-faith suggestions and positive proposals that could be considered by the government at a later date, they are not what I was anticipating answering to tonight. Therefore, I will speak to the fact that our fiscally disciplined approach is helping to lower everyday costs [more]

Madam Speaker, let me correct the member opposite first. The Parliamentary Budget Officer is a woman, not a man. It is Annette Ryan, and she is doing a wonderful job. I believe highly in the work of the Parliamentary Budget Officer. The function of that office is very important to our democracy. I cannot tell the member whether she is right. All I can say is that she is basing her projections on [more]

Prime Minister Madam Speaker, in fact, our government is doing well when it comes to the economy. The member opposite is obviously fully able to disagree with me, but I will state for the record that our government is getting results for Canadians. There are 217,000-plus net new jobs in the economy and the highest GDP growth in quarter two in the G7. We have also seen an almost two-decade record [more]

Madam Speaker, it is great to be here this evening. We are always interested in constructive proposals. What is interesting is that the member opposite's question has nothing to do with the question that has been put on notice, but that is okay. I will answer the question that was put on notice anyway. In an increasingly fragmented and uncertain world, our government is concentrating on what it [more]

Madam Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to stand up and talk about best practices in fiscal management. I think our government has done a great thing in having a capital budgeting framework and splitting out operational from capital spending so that our capital budgeting framework can help support capital formation in the economy. The members opposite should agree with the fact that investment [more]

Madam Speaker, the member opposite's question on the Notice Paper was about apprentices. It was about Canada facing unemployment. It was about youth. It was about the budget and EI premiums. It was about taxes on jobs. It was about a jobs crisis. That is about it.

Madam Speaker, I can say we are supporting a stronger country and a more resilient economy for all Canadians. We are focused on the affordability measures that every Canadian can take advantage of. That could be by helping to afford groceries and essentials on a monthly basis, where we know Canadian households are cash-strapped, or creating jobs all across Canada by boosting productivity and [more]

Madam Speaker, I am glad to get the member opposite's question, which I always appreciate. Our government has done a lot of things to make life more affordable for Canadians. We have, as I said in my speech, launched the Canada groceries and essentials benefit. The third instalment of those cheques went out just yesterday. That is $1,890 for a family of four to help make life a bit more [more]

Madam Speaker, I really appreciate my colleague's work in this area. We shared many conversations and had many meetings about the national school food program and the importance of getting the federal government to invest in it because of how essential it is for the growth and development of our young people. The program ensures that they have the nourishment they need to grow, develop, retain [more]
