Public Controversies

This vote went against the official position of the Liberal government. Following the vote, he was removed from his positions on two parliamentary committees. Long publicly stated that he voted in the best interest of his constituents. Throughout his time in office, he has also been a vocal supporter of the now-cancelled Energy East pipeline project. This position sometimes put him at odds with his own party's environmental policies and priorities.

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are tired of the podcasts, bizarre workout videos and empty parking lot press conferences. They are tired of it. On this side of the House, we are going to build the strongest economy in the G7. Abroad, we are signing trade deals that bring billions of dollars to our country. At home, we are cutting taxes. It is time for the Conservatives to put down the kettlebells and
Mr. Speaker, on this side of the House, we focus on affordability. They are focused on bluster. We just paused the consumer excise tax on gas, which is 10¢ a litre. Combine that with the cut— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!
Mr. Speaker, we cut the excise tax on gas, which was 10¢ a litre. We cut the consumer carbon tax, which was 18¢ a litre. That is 28¢ a litre for Canadians when they fill up at the pump. That side continues to vote against every affordability measure we have ever put forward. They do not have Canadians' interests at heart. We are going to focus on delivering affordability for Canadians on this
Mr. Speaker, let us do a comparison. On this side, we have a world-class statesman and a world-class business and economic leader. On that side, they have empty-parking-lot press conferences with slogans, gimmicks and props. On this side of the House, we are going to build the strongest economy in the G7 and the most resilient economy in the G7. We are cutting taxes. We are investing in Canada.

We just paused the federal excise tax on gas, 10¢ a litre. We cancelled the consumer carbon tax, which is 18¢ a litre. Combined, that is 28¢ a litre in savings for Canadians. It is time for that leader
Mr. Speaker, we are going to continue to focus, on this side, on affordability. We just launched the grocery and essentials benefit that will put up to $1,900 in the pockets of hard-working families. We just cut the excise tax. That is 10¢. I combine that with the carbon tax cut, and that is 28¢. The spring economic update continued to confirm that our economy is strong and growing. On this side
Mr. Speaker, we have so many members on this side that it is hard to keep track of where everyone is. I want to thank the member for Pickering—Brooklin for the great work she does and for recognizing seniors across this country. Canada's new government is committed to ensuring that seniors age with dignity. We are going to make it easier for seniors to access the benefits they are entitled to.
Conservative leader Mr. Speaker, despite theand his party's best efforts to mislead Canadians about the economy, let us look at some facts— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Pickering—Brooklin for the great work she does in her riding and for recognizing the contributions of seniors across this country. Canada's new government is committed to ensuring— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!
leader Mr. Speaker, despite thatand his party's best effort to paint the wrong narrative, the facts are very clear: best net debt-to-GDP in the G7, strongest fiscal position in the G7, second-fastest growing economy in the G7. Wages are outpacing inflation. Despite the rhetoric on that side, Canadians know our economy is growing. We are going to build— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!
