Public Controversies
In November 2023, Wayne Long was reportedly the only Liberal MP to vote in favour of a Conservative Party motion to exempt all forms of home heating from the federal carbon tax. 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.

We just hosted the Canada investment summit, where we attracted $500 billion of investment for Canada to build our economy strong. On this side of the House, we are going to do what is needed to build Canada
Mr. Speaker, our plan is to spend less on government operations and prioritize investments that generate long-term benefits for Canadians, such as major projects, housing, clean energy and infrastructure that will help grow our economy and attract private investment.

By the way, we just added three new caucus members.
Mr. Speaker, again, I applaud the member's leadership on this issue. Our thoughts are certainly with the workers and their families who are affected by the closure of AV Nackawic. We are going to work with the province. We are working with leadership in the community to find a solution. We are going to keep fighting for the workers affected by this terrible closure.

Mr. Speaker, I have breaking news. The Parliamentary Budget Officer just confirmed that low-income Canadians will get over $2,200 through automatic tax filing. That is for 5.5 million Canadians.

Conservative leader Mr. Speaker, I have had the privilege of actually running small businesses in the economy, not like thewho has never worked a day outside of this House. Sometimes a small business or a government is faced with challenges or headwinds, and they can do one of two things.
