Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the government House leader for his words. It is a pleasure, some days, to work with him. It has truly been a privilege to serve our constituents in this place, each and every day. To begin with, Mr. Speaker, thank you for your dedication to this institution, but more importantly to Canadians. You have served in your role very well and with dignity, and you have brough…

Mr. Speaker, I would ask that the minister now table those documents in the House. When we look at the video screen, what we see is a Conservative member of Parliament's head shot, including personal information details about that individual, not only their contact information but what appears to be personal information about the member. I believe that the minister has a collection of these with d…

Mr. Speaker, as the Table is working feverishly to complete the vote count, we believe that all members from our side who made attempts to vote on the app have been accounted for, with the exception of the member for Carlton Trail—Eagle Creek. We would ask for unanimous consent to allow for that member's vote to count and be included in the vote.

Mr. Speaker, I believe the minister has just agreed to table those documents here in the House. I believe that is what the minister said. She is standing. She has the documents there. They have the personal information of many members of Parliament on this side of the House. This is a breach, I believe, of the privacy of those members. She is now leaving the chamber with that document in her hands…

Mr. Speaker, it is clear what is happening. The Liberals, having won a minority, want the power of a majority. There have been floor crossings that bring them over the technical definition of a majority, but now they are demanding 58%, nearly 60%, of the seats on standing committees. Currently, most committees are seized by Liberal filibuster. Effectively, that means that, if the Liberal members k…

Mr. Speaker, the entire reason that the Liberals are bringing forward this motion is so the committees would work for the Liberal Party of Canada rather than the people of Canada.

Mr. Speaker, I was mesmerized by the speech my colleague just gave. It is remarkable the lengths to which the Liberals will go to get their hands on power. That has been the Liberal story through all of history. I will give the Liberals credit for one thing: their ability to seize power and take credit for doing absolutely nothing. They are truly masters of illusion. Never has a government been gi…

Mr. Speaker, did members notice something? The member did not mention one of the scandals. He says there are hundreds, but he could not name one. I will tell members about one. The Liberals howled for days to force a minister to resign from the House of Commons because, on one of her expense accounts, there was a $16 glass of orange juice. That is what the Liberals howled at for weeks. That minist…

Mr. Speaker, if someone believes that answer, I have an oceanfront property I will sell them in Alberta. Everyone knows that when the government charges higher fuel and carbon taxes on fertilizer, fuel and equipment for farmers, food processors and truckers, it drives up the cost of food. It is going to get worse as long as the Liberals keep on hiking these taxes. Canada now has the highest food p…

Mr. Speaker, we cannot control what is happening abroad, but we can fix things here at home. The majority of Canadians now report that they are worse off today than when the Prime Minister took office, and they are right. Under his leadership, Canada now has the worst food price inflation and the only shrinking economy in the G7. The Liberal Prime Minister was warned that imposing his industrial c…

Mr. Speaker, just listen to the minister and his high-flying friends. They think everything is great, but we know that inflation is good news for the wealthy and for the bankers. I can tell them that young Canadians are being the hardest hit by this inflation. TransUnion is reporting that Canadians have now taken on a record-breaking $2.6 trillion in household debt. This debt is attached to mortga…

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister promised us affordable groceries, but he has given us the highest food inflation in the G7. He promised to spend less, yet the deficit is now double and Canadians are now paying more in interest than for health care. He promised homes people could afford, but the prices have never been worse. RBC is now reporting that it is the hardest on young Canadians, who say at…

Mr. Speaker, I am wondering if the Liberals have decided to allow for Bill C-14 to pass. We have, on 17 occasions over the last number of hours, asked for the Liberals to expedite Bill C-14 and to allow for consideration of the bill. The Liberals continue to obstruct this bill, putting forward limitations on religious freedom in Bill C-9. Conservatives will continue to oppose those measures but wo…

Mr. Speaker, before the Prime Minister was elected, he said that half of all oil reserves should stay in the ground, but two weeks ago, when signing an MOU in the province of Alberta, he said that he is now supportive of a proposal to build an oil pipeline between Alberta and a northern British Columbia port. Now that he has returned to Ottawa, he is telling his “keep it in the ground” caucus not …

Madam Speaker, my colleague points out, exactly, the hypocrisy of the party that claims to believe in transparency. I remember a time when the members talked about sunlight being the best disinfectant, yet what we are seeing is a government clouded by more secrecy than we have ever seen with any government before. They are not trying to rectify this as they are being called out for being secretive…

Madam Speaker, my friend articulated the Prime Minister's failure to get a deal with the Americans. Obviously, the Prime Minister made a promise to get a trade deal with the Americans by July. He has failed to do that. He has done a whole bunch of things to try to now get that deal, but he continues to fail after having promised Canadians he would get it done. When it comes to the media, one of th…

Madam Speaker, today I rise in the House of Commons to speak in opposition to Bill C-15, not because it is a Liberal budget bill but because it is a betrayal bill. The 634-page monster that the Liberals are trying to ram through in unprecedented fashion is hiding some of the most dangerous powers imaginable, powers that would let Liberal ministers pick winners and losers and exempt their corporate…
