Mr. Speaker, Canadian manufacturers pay an industrial carbon tax while competitors in China and the U.S. do not. Does this seem fair?

Mr. Speaker, we can control the industrial carbon tax, unlike the unjustified U.S. tariffs, so why not remove it in the face of the threat?

Mr. Speaker, I am happy the minister is referencing the tariffs. In the face of unjustified 50% tariffs from the U.S. on Canadian industry, why is the minister continuing to charge Canadian businesses an industrial carbon tax?

Mr. Speaker, “Canadians will hold account by their experience at the grocery store.” These are the words of the Prime Minister. Single mothers go to the grocery store and walk out with two bags of groceries, enough for two days, and it costs them $100. Now the Liberals are bringing in a half a trillion in new spending, increasing it by 8%, when they had promise to cap it at 2%. Once again, will th…

Mr. Speaker, Bridges to Hope is a vital food bank in Newfoundland and Labrador that is being forced to double its size due to a 30% increase in demand. This surge reflects the harsh reality that more and more families cannot afford groceries. The cost of beef is up 34%. Oranges are up 26%, and coffee is up 9%. Canadians do not have any hope for relief without a clear fiscal plan. Will the Prime Mi…

Mr. Speaker, my colleague talked about all of the ambitious goals and all of the things that her government wants to accomplish. My question is very simple: How does she feel about the fact that there is no budget to present to Canadians with respect to the road map of how to accomplish these great goals?

Mr. Speaker, there is Hunter from Port au Choix, who is not old enough to vote, but I can promise has more civic spirit than most adults. He worked hard on the campaign because he believes in change—

Mr. Speaker, the people of Long Range Mountains have waited a very long time for their voices to be heard in this House, and I feel a deep responsibility to finish what I started. This House deserves to hear the stories they have passed along to me, because they are stories not just of struggle but of strength, perseverance and quiet determination. They are stories that have stayed with me and gui…

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister claims he is different from his predecessor, but the numbers tell a different story. In his own first spending bill, consultants get a record-setting $26.1 billion, up more than 36% in one year. The government talks about restraint, but this is half a trillion dollars of spending without a budget. Single moms, seniors and small businesses must budget before they spe…

Mr. Speaker, respectfully, I guess this is my whole point: The voices of the people of Long Range Mountains have not been heard in this House for a very long time. I was given the opportunity. It is very important to them. They feel forgotten about and left behind in the rural communities because of the Liberal government. I wanted to take the opportunity because, respectfully, they put me here an…

Mr. Speaker, one day I travelled to Ramea by ferry to visit my friend Mikalah in her hometown, a small, proud and beautiful community. Mikalah is a courageous young woman who lost her mom at an early age and wants nothing more than to stay in the place she grew up.

Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise as the first Conservative woman to ever serve the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador in the House of Commons. I was born and raised, laid roots and built a career in Newfoundland and Labrador. Unfortunately, for young people today, building a life in Newfoundland and Labrador is becoming a distant dream. Too many are forced to pack their bags and head elsewh…
