Mr. Speaker, politicians can talk a glass eye to sleep, but I have a simple question. We like to hear yes-or-no answers. Most of the time, and there are three clocks in here, the Liberals would not even tell us what time it is. However, I have a simple question for the member: Does she believe there is an affordability crisis in Canada, yes or no?
Toronto—St. Paul's Mr. Speaker, I have just a simple question for my colleague. It frustrates Canadians when they cannot get a simple answer, so I am going to give my colleague an opportunity. The member forstruggled with answering the question, so I have a simple one: Is there an affordability crisis in Canada, yes or no?
Mr. Speaker, I have a simple question for the member for Edmonton Strathcona. Does she believe there is an affordability crisis in Canada today?
Toronto—St. Paul's Mr. Speaker, I asked the member fora simple question, and she really struggled to answer it, so I will also ask it of the member for Brandon—Souris. Does he believe there is an affordability crisis in Canada, yes or no?
Madam Speaker, the last decade was Canada's time to step up to supply the world with LNG and supply the world with clean oil and gas. The government missed the ball. Nothing is happening. After 18 months, it is still all talk and no action from the government.
Madam Speaker, “fill her up”. When is the last time we heard that? After all, with diesel prices at record highs, everyday Canadians who drive a truck for work or for personal use are running on fumes and whispering a prayer when they finally pull up to the pump. As a consequence of Liberal economic failures over the past 11 years, Canadians are paying 41¢ more per litre on diesel than the world
Madam Speaker, any tax relief right now is welcomed by Canadians. The number one expense of every Canadian across this great country is taxes. This is one lever the government can pull right now to give people more relief. Government members should vote for our emergency diesel relief plan.
Madam Speaker, what I will say is that I am a lobbyist for my constituents. That is what I am. This party, my colleagues here, fought to remove the carbon tax. We were shamed by the Liberals for 10 years, as I said, for being climate deniers. I represent Honda, which has been in my riding for 40 years. The EV mandate maimed that company, but I am an advocate for—
Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Today during question period, I referenced a letter from Margaret Haddon, a resident of Bradford West Gwillimbury. I am seeking unanimous consent to table this document. Theand MPs across the way have— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!
Mr. Speaker, Margaret Haddon from Bradford wrote me to say she raised her children believing that if they worked hard, stayed focused and pursued an education, they would be able to build stable and independent lives, but today she is watching that promise slip further out of reach for them. An entire generation is in this position because of the Liberals' failure to get housing built and rein in
Mr. Speaker, they suggest more websites. This is out of touch. This is not building Canada strong. It is weakening our industries. The Liberals' 50% countertariff on aluminum has increased the cost of houses, renovation, cars, appliances and more, while Canadians pay the price. Workers at companies like Spectra are still facing layoffs, still losing orders and still watching American firms get a
Mr. Speaker, Spectra Aluminum in Bradford is facing layoffs and job losses as it deals with 100% stacking American tariffs. The Liberal government has responded by bringing in a countertariff that has raised costs for Canadians, but instead of using that as leverage to stand up for the 80,000 workers in Canadian downstream aluminum manufacturing, the Liberals are letting American firms dodge the
