Mr. Speaker, the hon. member knows that I have a great deal of respect for him. I listened intently to his comments. He spent a great deal of time talking about process. I have to be clear. Canada's government views this very clearly. Process is not the objective. Results and getting things done are the objective. Does the hon. member not agree that having a one-year time frame to approve major
Mr. Speaker, I listened intently to my hon. colleague. Maybe she could talk about some of the projects our government is helping to get completed, get started and get financed. Churchill Falls is the largest renewable energy project in North American history, producing enough clean power to heat, cool and power all the homes in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. It will create 22,000 jobs. We have
C-12 bail and sentencing reform act combatting hate act protecting victims act lawful access Mr. Speaker, with regard to Bill, the strengthening Canada's immigration system and borders act, the, the, theand the act respecting, every single one of these pieces of legislation strengthens our public safety and enhances our national security. They have been supported by our national security
Mr. Speaker, the fact of the matter is that we have passed significant legislation that has the support of every single major police organization in this country. That is the same legislation the Conservatives have obstructed and delayed every step of the way. The question I have for the Conservatives is, how much money did you fundraise off the very delays that you created?
Madam Speaker, I think this is probably one of the first times I have been accused of being a Harper Conservative. Indigenous rights and making sure we engage with our partners at the AFN and other organizations are things we have taken incredibly seriously. They really are at the heart of this legislation. What I will say is this: The crisis we are in, and I said this in my remarks, requires
Madam Speaker, the current government has been focused on the economy since day one, and we see that with our legislative agenda, with the pieces of legislation that have been passed and with the projects that we have approved. Churchill Falls, for example, in eastern Canada, is going to produce enough clean power to power Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver combined. That is the type of action the
Madam Speaker, in my previous answer I spoke about Churchill Falls, the largest clean energy development in North American history, which is being financed by the government. I can tell members that renewable energy, along with the jobs it creates, is incredibly important to the government. It will produce enough power to heat, cool and electrify all of the homes in Toronto, Montreal and
Madam Speaker, it is always an honour to rise in the House on behalf of the residents of Eglinton—Lawrence. Canada is going through a period of significant change. We are in a tariff war with our largest trading partner, the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to put pressure on global food markets and commodity markets, a conflict in the Middle East has disrupted global energy markets and
Prime Minister Madam Speaker, there was an article today in Bloomberg saying that capital is leaving the United States and coming to Canada, which is an indication of the confidence investors have in theand our new government.
Mr. Speaker, I listened to the hon. member's remarks quite intently. At one point he mentioned that tariffs upon tariffs are not helpful. The fact of the matter is that countertariffs that we are placing on American goods are about protecting Canadian businesses and Canadian workers. If the hon. member does not believe in our government's defending Canadian workers and businesses, what does he
That's great. I'm good. Thanks, Chair.
That's great. Thank you. I'd like to pivot from that line of questioning on wraparound services. You previously mentioned, Mr. Freeman, that there are currently about 461,000 veterans in our country. If I recall correctly, a significant percentage of those are members of the RCMP as well. Is that correct?
That's great. Thank you. There are 461,000 veterans in our country, and there are about 1,700 who have experienced homelessness over the past 12 months, according to your stats. I think we can all agree that one homeless veteran is one too many. I'd like to talk about the wraparound services, because homelessness and the causes of homelessness are complex issues. I'd like to refer back to a May
Great. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll yield the first portion of my time to Ms. Fancy.
Getting back to why I do not support this motion, the motion does not address the broader economic benefits to our country. The bridge itself is estimated to contribute approximately $1.3 billion to Windsor's contribution to our country's gross domestic product. Approximately 75% of the project's steel was sourced from Canada, and 25%—
