Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, thehas told Canadians time and time again how during a generational trade war, the Liberals plan on strengthening the Canadian economy. However, the data suggests otherwise. According to the Toronto Star, the Prime Minister has increased Canadian contracts to the U.S. by over 50%. Canadian industry needs support from the Prime Minister, not inconsistency and more [more]

Mr. Speaker, under the current government, people are being evicted from their home. In many cases, their credit cards are maxed. Something needs to give. The government often claims that the opposition only criticizes, so here is part of our plan: Instead of wasting billions of dollars on Alto high-speed rail, let us put that in the pockets of hard-working Canadians who are barely surviving [more]

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are being crushed by the cost of living. Many families cannot afford rent, groceries or child care. I spoke with a woman last night who shared that she is being evicted from her home, and with a gentleman who lost his home and is on a wait-list for low-income housing. Canadians are falling deeper into debt and being forced to put their future plans on hold. They do not need [more]

Mr. Speaker, here before all of us tonight, we have to recognize that our job is to advocate and work and fight for the Canadian people. The government, for the last 11 years, has continually been making promise after promise, announcement after announcement. We need to do significantly more doing and significantly less talking.

Mr. Speaker, our support for this measure is very straightforward. When Parliament has an opportunity to leave more money in Canadians' pockets through lower fuel taxes, this measure is just a common-sense prerogative. I know, from people in Hastings—Lennox and Addington—Tyendinaga, that when I am at the grocery store, when I am out at different community events, the tone is consistent. The [more]

Mr. Speaker, at 10 o'clock this evening, I think it is fair to recognize, as all of us can acknowledge, that it has been a long day. Nonetheless, it is certainly very much the case that this issue is important. C-38 As we return to the House, I believe it is worth reminding ourselves of something that can be lost amid the disagreements of this place. Canadians expect us to come here not simply [more]

Mr. Speaker, I am hoping my colleague can acknowledge that supporting the bill before us is not giving the government a blank cheque. Could he speak to the hardships and impacts that fuel prices are having on people in his riding, be it business owners, farmers or young families?

Mr. Speaker, I would be happy to reconcile what I am suggesting tonight, and that is the fact that we need to get the government to stop spending. We need to get spending under control. The deficit has doubled from what the government inherited. We, as an opposition, have identified $150 billion in potential savings, roughly $10,000 for every Canadian. Instead of having money swallowed up by [more]

Mr. Speaker, I think, as the loyal opposition, that we should take this as a compliment. My father once taught me that one never has to worry about who gets the credit as long as the job is done. I think, in this case, it is very clear where the idea came from. Nonetheless, what is most important are the results and Canadians getting results at the gas pump.

Mr. Speaker, as members of the Jewish community gathered at the Sons of Jacob Synagogue to observe Yom Kippur, the holiest and most solemn day in Judaism, gunfire erupted outside their place of worship. Constable Jeff Smith of the Belleville Police Service was seriously wounded while defending the synagogue and members of the Jewish community gathered inside. Every Canadian has the right to [more]
